Arizona Tribune - Unbeaten 49ers edge Seahawks while Vikings stay perfect

Eddy Pineiro's 44-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining gave the 49ers the final margin and San Francisco's defense forced a turnover on downs with 47 seconds remaining to beat their NFC West division rival.

Thirty-eight points -- 21 by the Niners -- scored off seven turnovers, four by Seattle, were the most in an NFL game since 2017.

Mike Evans caught seven passes for 113 yards, including a two-yard touchdown toss from Brock Purdy after a Renardo Green interception and a crucial two-point conversion.

"Toughness and heart," Evans said. "We've got a locker room full of those guys. We knew it was going to be a dogfight. They're a great team. We showed we're a great team as well."

Fred Warner knocked lose a fumble by Emanuel Wilson that Malik Mustapha recovered one play before Christian McCaffrey ran for a San Francisco touchdown.

Gracen Halton recovered a George Holani fumble in the end zone to give the 49ers a 21-13 halftime lead.

Seattle's Nehemiah Pritchett picked off Purdy to set up Sam Darnold's 16-yard touchdown pass to Jaxson Smith-Njigba to give Seattle a 23-21 lead.

Purdy flipped a seven-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks and the conversion to Evans for a 29-26 49ers' lead, only for Jason Myers to equalize from 40 yards on his fifth field goal, setting up the final drama.

The Minnesota Vikings stayed undefeated with a 23-13 triumph at New Orleans.

Justin Jefferson snagged a superb touchdown catch under triple coverage and Aaron Jones ran for 113 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings.

Also undefeated are the Kansas City Chiefs (4-0), who are idle this week.

An epic overtime blunder by Washington resulted in a 27-27 tie with the New York Giants.

After recovering a Giants fumble deep in Washington territory, the Commanders made a final drive, but Jayden Daniels was stopped on a late run rather than throwing an incompletion to halt the clock.

Washington, with no timeouts, could not prevent time from running out before setting up a field goal attempt.

"Leaving with a tie feels like a loss," said Commanders coach Dan Quinn, whose team led 27-13.

"We have to stop the clock," Daniels said. "Ultimately, it's on me."

Cam Little kicked a 57-yard field goal on the final play to give Jacksonville a 19-17 victory over Philadelphia in London.

Jake Elliott booted a 48-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining to lift Philadelphia ahead 17-16, but Ameer Abdullah raced 53 yards on the ensuing kickoff return and was tackled with one second remaining to set up Little's kick.

"It was just a roller coaster," Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. "It was pretty crazy."
