The game remains 10-7 in favor of Seattle, with 2:14 left in the third quarter.

Zach Charbonnet ties the game up with a 1-yard touchdown run
The Seahawks responded in kind to San Francisco’s touchdown drive with one of their own. Seattle marched 51 yards in 10 plays, and were aided by a pass interference call on 4th down to extend the drive.

San Francisco strikes first, takes an early 7-0 lead
The Niners methodically marched 95 yards in 14 plays, milking 8:22 off the clock. Their opening drive of the season started at their own 5-yard line and resulted in a 5-yard touchdown strike from Brock Purdy to George Kittle. Their drive was aided by an unfortunate roughing the passer penalty, but the Seahawks failed to get off the field in plenty of other crucial situations along the way.
Nick Emmanwori limps off the field
Following a tackle of 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, Seahawks rookie safety Nick Emmanwori was banged up on the play. Emmanwori limped away from the scrum back to his position in the secondary, trying to walk it off, but sat back down on the field. After being attended to by trainers for a few minutes, Emmanwori walked off the field under his own power.

Seahawks punt on the opening drive
Seattle’s first drive of the game started off promising. Sam Darnold threw his first pass on the first play of the season, which was an 18-yard strike to Jalen Milroe. A short run by Kenneth Walker III was followed up with Jalen Milroe taking a direct snap as quarterback and rushing for only a yard. A completed pass to AJ Barner on 3rd down went for no gain, then Seattle took an intentional delay of game penalty for slightly better field positioning for a punt.
Jim Zorn and Steve Largent to raise the 12th Man flag
To start the 50th season in Seahawks history, it is only fitting that the first starting quarterback, as well as the franchise’s best player ever, are the ones to partake in the greatest pregame ritual in the NFL.
