The San Francisco 49ers comfortably surged past the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, winning 31-13 to improve to 8-3 on the season, taking a two-game lead over their rivals in the division.
It was an intriguing game for the 49ers, who sprung out to a 24-3 halftime lead, but faced some third-quarter struggles, which allowed Seattle to creep back to within two possessions, but the Seahawks never gained enough ground offensively to remain competitive.
The dagger came on Brock Purdy’s best throw of the evening, as the quarterback found Brandon Aiyuk for a deep 28-yard touchdown between the levels to give the 49ers a 31-13 lead in the fourth quarter.
