"The Seahawks' downtown amphitheater, arguably the NFL's loudest, has haunted the 49ers in past visits. A Super Bowl dream died here in the NFC Championship Game after the 2013 season. A 2004 shutout loss snapped the 49ers' NFL-record scoring streak of 420 straight games. So many serious injuries, so many heartbreaking losses brought tears behind the double doors leading into the visitors' locker room. Sunday, the 49ers won their fourth straight game here, their best-ever stretch in this heated NFC West rivalry."
"Left tackle Trent Williams even said Sunday's 17-13 victory was sweeter than their 2023 Thanksgiving Night triumph. The 49ers' first points came on a Brock Purdy touchdown pass to George Kittle, who then left with a hamstring injury. Who knew their final 11 points in a win would come from the two Jakes tight end Jake Tonges and kicker Jake Moody?"
