Purdy, Kittle Spark 49ers’ 95-Yard Opening Drive to Lead Seahawks 7-0

Lead Quarterback Brock Purdy connected with tight end George Kittle on a five-yard touchdown pass to cap a 95-yard drive and give the San Francisco 49ers a 7-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 on Sunday.

Nut Graf The opening-drive score showcased San Francisco’s balanced attack and set the tone for the season opener in Seattle. The 14-play march demonstrated strategic play-calling and efficient execution against a stout Seahawks defense.

Main Part Early Momentum

• The drive covered 95 yards on 14 plays, featuring six completions on seven targets for 66 yards by Purdy.
• A roughing-the-passer penalty on Seahawks lineman Leonard Williams added 15 yards to the march.

McCaffrey’s Role

• Running back Christian McCaffrey, listed as questionable with a calf issue, carried four times for six yards and added a three-yard reception, contributing to ball-control and short-yardage situations.

Seahawks’ Response

• Seattle’s opening possession stalled, forcing a punt after failing to cross midfield.
• The Seahawks will seek adjustments on defense and offense as they look to respond before halftime.

Looking Ahead San Francisco aims to build on its early success with a balanced mix of passing and rushing, while Seattle must shore up its front seven to pressure Purdy and sustain longer drives on offense.
