Well, wasn’t that a pleasant surprise for the San Francisco 49ers.
The Niners managed to pull off a Week 15 upset, beating the visiting Seattle Seahawks 26-23 in overtime, pushing off Seattle’s bid to clinch a playoff berth for another week and ending a 10-game losing streak to the Seahawks.
It wasn’t always pretty. But when kicker Robbie Gould nailed his fourth field goal of the game in the extra frame, it gave the 49ers and their fans a little bit of bragging rights after this NFC West rivalry turned so one-sided many years ago.
