Rookie Renardo Green delivers type of play 49ers couldn’t muster in earlier losses
New York TimesSEATTLE — Kyle Shanahan doesn’t like to play rookies. 76-YARD RUN TO START THE DRIVE.#SFvsSEA on Prime Video Also streaming on #NFLPlus pic.twitter.com/Pt3BWP6JEF — NFL October 11, 2024 Then there was the game’s most pivotal play — a fourth-quarter interception by cornerback Renardo Green, who undercut a throw to DK Metcalf at the Seattle 35-yard line and returned the ball to the 15. Said Nick Bosa: “I think our back end probably had one of their best games when we needed it.” Green’s interception was the type of moment the 49ers hadn’t been able to come up with in earlier divisional losses to the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals, games in which the 49ers suddenly lost momentum in the second half and couldn’t halt the downward spiral. But Green was the hero, undercutting Metcalf for the interception at a point in the game when the 49ers badly needed to stop Seattle’s momentum, which included a huge break when replay officials were unable to overturn what should have been a muffed Seahawks punt on the first play of the fourth quarter. “It’s just another game,” tackle Trent Williams said.
