After a strong start to the season in the US football league NFL, the Seattle Seahawks are now suffering a series of defeats. The team around quarterback Geno Smith lost the division duel against the San Francisco 49ers 24:36 and suffered their third defeat in a row. The two rivals are now tied at the top of the NFC West with a record of three wins and three losses each.
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy scored three touchdown passes and managed a total of 255 passing yards. The match winner for San Francisco was tight end George Kittle with two touchdowns in the second half. Seattle came back from a 20-point deficit at the start of the second half, but an interception by Smith stopped the comeback midway through the final quarter.
