Seattle hosts one of the NFL's two unbeaten teams today
San Francisco is 4-0 atop the NFC West, a game ahead of 3-1 Seattle, but Seattle is favored by 3 points at home. A win would pull Seattle even with the 49ers in the division and the conference race both.

Seattle places Julian Neal on injured reserve, signs Trevon Diggs outright
San Francisco activated edge rusher Mykel Williams off PUP and elevated tight end Jack Stoll and edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad ahead of Sunday. Williams, the 11th overall pick in 2025, played 439 snaps as a rookie before landing on PUP; he hasn't played a snap this season. He returns to a defensive line that's already lost four players to injured reserve (Sam Okuayinonu, C.J. West, Alfred Collins and Mikail Kamara) and has ruled out Nick Bosa (knee, calf) for Sunday. Stoll steps in at tight end for Jake Tonges, also on injured reserve; he played 347 snaps there last season. Okoronkwo, elevated from the practice squad again, already has 113 snaps on earlier call-ups this year after playing just 4 snaps all of last season.
Plays this season and last for the newly activated, elevated or signed players

Defensive line has none of Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, Demarcus Lawrence, or Rylie mills in for the first few snaps of this series
Blatant helmet to helmet hit not called on 3rd down. Not sure how you miss that. Jason Myers hits the field goal to put Seattle ahead for the first time.
Hell of a first quarter between these two teams. Both delivered some body blows. 7-7 after one.
Score one explosive for Fleury against the defense that entered the game tops in the NFL in limiting explosives.
Byron Murphy just became the first player to sack Brock Purdy this year.
No sacks yet, but the Seahawks are pushing the pocket into Purdy’s lap without losing their rush lanes. Fewer stunts so far.
Special Teams shows up huge and the Seahawks finally score on the ground on goal-to-go.
