In Brock Purdy's debut as the Niners, he looked like the best quarterback on the field in a game in which he went up against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

Hello everyone and welcome to Seattle where the Seahawks are looking to put an end to a late season slump that has their playoff chances hanging on the edge. The San Francisco 49ers travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks looking to clinch the division against their bitter rivals on their home turf. In Brock Purdy’s debut as the Niners, he looked like the best quarterback on the field in a game in which he went up against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Most of that came in the first half as the Niners defense shut down the Bucs offense and the game was a blow out by the time halftime came around. At the moment they are on the outside looking in, sitting right behind the Giants and the Commanders in 6th and 7th. Maybe Pete Carroll’s men were looking at the their divisional game too soon and didn’t focus on the Panthers enough. They have been so good at home over the last decade, but they have lost two straight at Lumen Field and need to turn the tables on this recent skid at home. The pressure came quick and Smith had to get rid of it before the sack came. And they get the ball back to start the third quarter. Brock Purdue is only a few months removed from being the final pick in the NFL draft. SEA big man Mone was hurt on the play, more to come on his status. What a play call from Kyle Shanahan to get Kittle wide open down the middle.

SEATTLE -- The 49ers just won the NFC West with a 21-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Here are the 49ers' grades for this performance. BROCK PURDY: B.

That forced fumble gave the 49ers the ball at the Seahawks 6-yard line and led to a touchdown which gave the 49ers a two-score lead.

Kerry Hyder, a defensive end, started at defensive tackle and the 49ers still shut down the Seahawks run game. Had he caught it and returned it for a touchdown, the Seahawks would have taken the lead, and they're terrible. Metcalf and is making the case that he's an All Pro cornerback. He's good, and yet the 49ers gave him just four carries. The right side is no good, which is why almost all of the 49ers' long runs go to their left. Still, the 49ers gave him 26 carries, which was reckless and unnecessary. He plays like a 30-year-old veteran, meaning he's calm and mostly takes what the defense gives him. Here are the 49ers' grades for this performance.
