What's Being Said: Seahawks 30, 49ers 23

The Seahawks snapped their three-game losing streak on Sunday, earning a tough 30-23 victory over the divisional rival San Francisco 49ers. It took a comeback effort, as the Seahawks trailed by as many as 10 points in the second quarter. Future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson cut into that lead with a 1-yard touchdown run, tying Jim Brown for 10th place on the NFL's list of career total touchdown leaders, but a 48-yard touchdown reception by 49ers tight end George Kittle made it a 23-14 game with 1:48 remaining in the first half.

However, those would be the final points the 49ers would score on the afternoon.

The Seahawks went on to rattle off 16 unanswered points, starting with a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Dee Eskridge to close out the first half — the first touchdown of the rookie wide receiver's career. A Carlos Dunlap II sack of 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo for a safety and a beautiful 12-yard touchdown throw from Wilson to Tyler Lockett in the third quarter made it a 30-23 game, and the Seahawks' defense made a stand in the game's closing seconds to seal the win.
