Samuel scores 2 TDs, Purdy throws for career-best 368 yards as 49ers beat Seahawks 28-16

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brock Purdy has an embarrassment of riches surrounding him on San Francisco’s high-powered offense. “Any one of our guys, any one of our eligibles, you get the ball in their hands and then they go do the rest.” Brandon Aiyuk added 126 yards receiving as the quartet of playmakers for the 49ers combined for 505 yards from scrimmage on the day to move San Francisco to the brink of winning back-to-back NFC West titles for the first time since 2011-12. We have to find a way to execute better.” Drew Lock threw two TD passes in his first start since the end of the 2021 season in place of an injured Geno Smith, but couldn’t keep up with the high-powered 49ers. “I’m trying to balance the feeling of just finally playing again, and how good that feels and also not getting it done.” HOT TEMPERS Tempers flared late in the fourth quarter after Fred Warner intercepted a fourth-down pass from Lock, leading to a skirmish following a lateral. “From my side, he hit me in the back of the head and I just retaliated.” INJURIES Seahawks: CB Devon Witherspoon left the game in the first quarter and didn’t return.. CB Artie Burns left in the second half and didn’t return.
