    49ers vs. Seahawks live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ game

    No Comments13 Mins Read

    The stage is set for a pivotal NFC West showdown on “Thursday Night Football.”

    The 49ers (9-4) head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks (7-6) in a divisional clash with big playoff implications. With a win, San Francisco would clinch the division title. Seattle desperately needs a victory to get back on track and move closer to clinching a spot in the postseason. 

    49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been the toast of the town since he led his team to a dominant 35-7 win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers on Sunday. 2022’s “Mr. Irrelevant” looked more than up to the task in his first career NFL start as he deputized for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo. He finished the day 16 of 21 passing with 185 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs and a passer rating of 134.0. He was questionable coming into today with a rib injury, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported he is expected to play tonight. 

    With star wideout Deebo Samuel expected to miss around three weeks after suffering ACL and ankle injuries on Sunday, it’s likely even more of the offensive burden will fall upon Christian McCaffrey, who has been outstanding since joining the 49ers in October. The defense will also have to continue playing up to its high standards.

    The Seahawks slumped to a demoralizing 30-24 home loss to the Panthers in Week 14. It was one that they really could not afford as they fell further back in the divisional race. 

    Geno Smith had one of his worst games of his season, throwing two interceptions. Ultimately, though, it was a failure of the defense that allowed Carolina to bleed the clock with its running game to seal the win. Seattle will be eager to get back on track with a win in front of the home fans tonight.

    49ers vs. Seahawks live updates, highlights from ‘Thursday Night Football’

    (All times Eastern.)

    10:34 p.m. — After all that, the catch stands and it’s 3rd and 4. Geno drops back, but the Niners get to him yet again and drop him for their 4th sack of the night. Another promising Seattle drive stalls out.  

    10:32 p.m. — Geno throws a pass short right to Marquise Goodwin, who appeared to make the catch for a gain of about 6. The officials first ruled it incomplete, then changed the call on the field to a completion. Now, Kyle Shanahan is challenging the catch. One way or another, the officials will get to the bottom of this. 

    10:29 p.m. — The final quarter starts with a nice run by Walker to pick up 15 yards and move the ball across midfield. He’s got some wheels. 

    End of third quarter: 49ers 21, Seahawks 6

    10:24 p.m. — On 3rd and 2, a deluge of penalty flags comes in. Somehow, the 49ers committed three penalties on a single play. However, all three were declined because Homer made a catch to pick up 11 yards. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before!

    10:18 p.m. — On 3rd and 5 from inside Seahawks territory, Purdy can’t connect with McCloud and it’ll be 4th down. It’s just a little too far to attempt a field goal, so Shanahan will punt it. It’s a good punt, too. Seattle will have to start the drive inside their own 5-yard line.

    10:14 p.m. — Purdy gets sacked by Quinton Jefferson to bring up 3rd and 15. Purdy dumps it off to RayRay McCloud, who turns on the jets to gain 16 yards and move the chains! That’s a back-breaker for Seattle. 

    49ers 21, Seahawks 6

    10:09 FIELD GOAL — A pass to Metcalf on 3rd and 32 comes up well short, so Myers trots on and proceeds to knock through his second field goal of the night. Field goals aren’t gonna do it for Seattle anymore, though. They need to find the end zone. 

    10:07 p.m. — A holding penalty on Abraham Lucas wipes out an amazing catch by Dareke Young that would have put the ball on the 2-yard line. On the next play, Geno is sacked for a huge loss by Bosa. That sums up the night pretty well for this offense.

    10:05 p.m. — Lockett comes up with a grab on 3rd and 4 to move the Seahawks close to the edge of the red zone. That’s only the second 3rd down conversion all night for Seattle. 

    10:02 p.m. — Huge break for Seattle. It appeared Geno threw a pick-six on 3rd and 8, but a roughing the passer call on Nick Bosa erases it and gives the Seahawks a free first down. That was a bit of a borderline call, but we see more and more of those roughing the passer flags each week it seems. 

    9:59 p.m. — The Seahawks’ effort simply hasn’t been good enough tonight in a game they really need to win. They have a mountain to climb at this point. 

    49ers 21, Seahawks 3

    9:56 p.m. TOUCHDOWN — Well, that was easy! Purdy finds Kittle wide open (again) down the left sideline, and the big tight end does the rest! The Seahawks couldn’t possibly have started this half any worse! That’s a 54 yard house call!

    9:55 p.m. START OF SECOND HALF — The Niners receive the kickoff to start the second half. 

    9:40 p.m. — That turnover and 49ers score to end the half really shifted the momentum of this game. But make no mistake, that was a really poor half by the Seahawks offensively. Let’s see if they can figure something out in the second half. 

    End of first half: 49ers 14, Seahawks 3

    9:38 p.m. — With 21 seconds left in the half, Seattle has the ball at its own 36 and one timeout. But on 3rd and 4, Geno throws it short of the sticks to Walker and he can’t even pick up the first down. Another wasted possession. 

    49ers 14, Seahawks 3

    9:34 p.m. TOUCHDOWN — Who else? Of course it’s McCaffrey, plowing ahead to pick up his 11th TD of the season! What a brutal turn of events for the Seahawks just before halftime. Still, they have 41 seconds to try and make something happen here.

    9:31 p.m. FUMBLE — HUGE play! Homer makes a catch over the middle, but the ball gets knocked out of his hands and it’s scooped up by Charvarius Ward! He returns it all the way down to the Seahawks 7-yard line, and the 49ers have a golden opportunity to extend their lead before halftime!

    9:28 p.m. — Purdy makes one of his first mistakes of the night, and it nearly results in a pick. His pass hit Quandre Diggs right in the chest, but the defender couldn’t hold on. Still, the Seahawks will get the ball back for a two-minute drill as San Francisco prepares to punt it away. 

    9:24 p.m. TWO-MINUTE WARNING — McCaffrey just keeps getting it done. He plows forward to convert on 3rd and 1 and bring his tally up to 82 total yards on the night. After he makes another catch, this time for a loss, it’s 3rd and 11 for the Niners as we head into the two-minute warning.

    49ers 7, Seahawks 3

    9:18 p.m. FIELD GOAL — Jason Myers gets the home team on the board from 38 yards out.

    9:17 p.m. — After a shot to the end zone gets deflected for an incompletion, it brings up 3rd and 8. Geno drops back, but his offensive line disintegrates and he’s forced to throw it into the dirt. Seattle will have to settle for a field goal try. 

    9:14 p.m. — A false start by Lockett sets up a 3rd and 13 for Seattle. Geno drops back to pass, but sees nothing but daylight in front of him. He tucks and runs for an 18 yard gain to move the chains. Big play there by the veteran QB.

    9:10 p.m. — Metcalf makes his first catch of the night to finally give Seattle’s offense a first down. Smith goes right back to him on the next play to pick up 13 more yards and move the Seahawks to their own 46-yard line. 

    9:06 p.m. — Purdy finally misses on a short pass to McCaffrey to ruin his perfect night and bring up 3rd and 9. He drops back and fires one right to Aiyuk, but they weren’t on the same page and it’ll bring up 4th down and another punt. 

    9:03 p.m. — Purdy is still Pur-fect on the night (sorry). Another completion for the rookie, this time to Brandon Aiyuk, gives San Francisco a first down near midfield. 

    8:58 p.m. — A pass for Metcalf gets broken up on 1st down, then a run by Walker sets up 3rd and 5. Smith tosses short right to Travis Homer, but he’s stopped short of the marker. After the play, Metcalf got flagged for taunting to turn a 4th and 1 into 4th and 16. Another abysmal possession for the Seahawks ends with a punt. 

    8:55 p.m. — Kyle Shanahan plays it safe and opts to punt it away. The Seahawks have the ball back at their own 25-yard line. 

    End of first quarter: 49ers 7, Seahawks 0

    8:49 p.m. — An offensive holding penalty on 3rd down moves the 49ers back and brings up 3rd and 16. Purdy drops back and tosses short to McCaffrey, but he’s dragged down well short of the line to gain. On 4th and 7, the Niners hustle up to the line as the quarter winds down to try and get Seattle to jump offside — and it works. They got Darrell Taylor to jump. Very sloppy penalty, but it will remain 4th and 2 when the second quarter begins.

    8:45 p.m. — Geno goes back to work, but on 2nd and 7 he gets rocked by Talanoa Hufanga and coughs up the football! One of his offensive linemen is able to pounce on it to keep possession, but on 3rd and a mile his pass falls incomplete. This has been a very rough start for the Seattle offense. 

    49ers 7, Seahawks 0

    8:41 p.m. TOUCHDOWN — Wow, fantastic play design by Shanahan! Purdy pumps once, pumps twice then throws over the middle to a wide open George Kittle, who streaks into the end zone to open the scoring! How about 6 of 6, 60 yards and a touchdown so far for Purdy?

    8:38 p.m. — On 3rd and 3, Purdy throws a strike to Jauan Jennings for a first down. He’s 5 of 5 so far on the night as the Niners creep towards the red zone. 

    8:35 p.m. — Seattle nose tackle Bryan Mone is down on the field with an injury. The team’s defensive line is already depleted, so this is not good news for the Seahawks. Mone limps off with the help of two trainers, doesn’t look good for the big man. 

    8:33 p.m. — Kyle Shanahan is feeding McCaffrey early and often. He bursts up the middle for a big chunk play, gaining 23 yards. 

    8:28 p.m. — Geno is already running for his life behind this struggling Seattle offensive line. He’s forced to throw it in the dirt on 1st down, then Walker loses a few yards on 2nd. Facing 3rd and 12, Smith checks down to tight end Noah Fant, who comes up well short of the marker. Another punt upcoming. 

    8:22 p.m. — Here comes Brock Purdy, “Mr. Irrelevant” from this year’s draft. He’ll throw it and complete it on 2nd down to George Kittle for a short gain, but it brings up 3rd and 5. Purdy drops back and tosses right to McCaffrey, but the running back gets dragged down just shy of the marker. The 49ers will punt it right back. 

    8:19 p.m. — But after a throw to Walker gets blown up, a pair of incompletions brings up 4th and long. Smith faced a lot of pressure on that 3rd down play and had to throw more quickly than he would liked. Seattle will punt it away.

    8:17 p.m. — A run by Kenneth Walker gains 5 yards on the first play of the game, then Geno Smith finds Tyler Lockett through the air to pick up a first down.

    8:14 p.m. — We’re all set for this massive NFC West clash. The Seahawks will receive the kickoff and get the ball first on offense. 

    8:08 p.m. — A look at the uniforms on display tonight:

    7:52 p.m. — Here’s how the Seahawks faithful welcomed Brock Purdy onto the field tonight.

    7:45 p.m. — The Niners are rocking throwback jerseys out there tonight. 

    7:39 p.m. — In addition to the actual postseason implications of tonight’s game, playoffs are getting underway in many fantasy football leagues. There are a lot of people out there hoping this guy, D.K. Metcalf, has a big night. 

    7:36 p.m. — Brock Purdy prepares to make his first primetime NFL start.

    7:19 p.m. — The 49ers can lock up the NFC West title with a win tonight. Will they get it done?
