3 takeaways from the 49ers win over the Seahawks: The defense steps up and delivers

The San Francisco 49ers won 36-24 over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night, tying their first conference win of the season and advancing to first place in the NFC West.

It was a much-needed victory for the 49ers after they had suffered a disappointing 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 5. They were tasked with making a quick turnaround for a road game on a short week.

As had been the case through many of San Francisco’s first few games, the 49ers jumped out to an early lead but faced some adversity as they struggled to close the game out.
