The 49ers defense was so overwhelming during the 31-13 win that the press box announcer twice declared a sack a "team sack" instead of trying to discern on the fly which 49ers had brought Smith to the turf.
After the Seahawks punted, the 49ers offense returned to looking as in-control as it did at the beginning of the contest with Brock Purdy inserting a final stake through the Seahawks' heart with a 28-yard touchdown strike to Brandon Aiyuk.
For the second time since their bye week, the 49ers' opponent failed to score an offensive touchdown. And the sacks that seemed so stagnant and hard to come by during a three-game skid flowed freely. The 49ers had six on Thursday and hit Smith, who was questionable for the game with an elbow injury, six more times beyond that.
