The Seahawks could not afford a turnover and this one came at the worst possible time.
Brock Purdy led a 7-play, 70-yard drive that finished with the rookie QB finding a wide-open Elijah Mitchell for a 7-yard touchdown.

The Niners went for two and Purdy connected with George Kittle and suddenly the gap was 31-17 early in the fourth quarter.
