The Seahawks’ opening drive covered 66 yards in 12 plays but resulted in no points, despite a key pass interference penalty on Deommodore Lenoir. Quarterback Sam Darnold faced an 11-yard sack from linebacker Tatum Bethune, and a failed fourth down attempt left them scoreless. However, the Seahawks’ defense forced a three-and-out for the 49ers, leading to a touchdown by Zach Charbonnet from 27 yards out, giving Seattle a 7-0 lead while outgaining San Francisco 92 to 7.
