Seattle Seahawks 27 – San Francisco 49ers 24 (OT)

In what was perhaps the most intense game of the year, San Francisco fell to Seattle in its first loss of the season. A back-and-forth affair featuring multiple fumbles and defensive touchdowns, both teams refused to concede defeat even throughout overtime.

The 49ers didn’t have star tight end George Kittle, who was held out with knee and ankle injuries, but they kept the game close. Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 248 yards, a touchdown and an interception while their defense made several plays and stops that kept San Francisco in the game, including a fumble forced by Fred Warner and recovered by DeForest Buckner, who returned it for a touchdown to turn an 11-point deficit into a three-point one.

Rookie kicker Chase McLaughlin tied the game up at 24-24 with a 47-yard field goal in the waning seconds of regulation, but he shanked another 47-yarder wide left in overtime when a score would have won the game. Jason Myers would ultimately kick the game-winning field goal as overtime expired.

San Francisco plays Arizona (3-6-1) on Sunday in another showdown with an NFC West rival.
