Geno Smith scrambled for a 13-yard touchdown with 12 seconds remaining to lift the Seattle Seahawks to a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Geno Smith entered Sunday’s game 0-5 against the San Francisco 49ers as the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners had won the previous six matchups against Seattle dating back to Dec. 5, 2021.With the trajectory of their season on the line, Smith shook off a bad third-quarter interception and capped off a game-winning touchdown drive via a 13-yard rushing score with 12 seconds left in the game — lifting the Seahawks to a 20-17 victory over the Niners at Levi’s Stadium.
After allowing a season-high 228 rushing yards versus San Francisco in Week 6, the Seahawks held the Niners’ running backs to 92 yards rushing on 21 carries. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy also logged a season-low 159 yards passing against Seattle's coverage., trailing just 7-6. It was a much more manageable deficit than the Seahawks’ Week 6 situation, which saw them down 16-3 after two quarters.
But Purdy still evaded the Seattle pass rush more often than he succumbed to its heat. The Niners quarterback made them pay on a 10-yard touchdown scramble late in the first quarter — the longest scoring rush of Purdy’s three-year career. While targeting wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a roll out to his left, Smith sailed the pass and it went right to Niners cornerback Isaac Yiadom, who returned it to Seattle’s 27-yard line.
San Francisco responded with another impressive drive. Purdy targeted Jauan Jennings four times and completed three of them, including a 13-yard catch-and-truck play on third down inside the Seahawks’ red zone.
