49ers vs. Seahawks final score, results: Brock Purdy tosses 3 TD passes as San Francisco pulls away late on TNF image

Both "Thursday Night Football" opponents needed a bounce-back win in Week 6, but it was the 49ers who came away with a momentum-shifting victory.

Just a week removed from a surprising 24-23 loss to the Cardinals, San Francisco's offense remained efficient in a 36-24 win over the Seahawks on Thursday. The 49ers initially had a 16-0 advantage to begin the matchup, but they needed some late-game scores to pull away for good.

As San Francisco's defense shut down Geno Smith in the first half, a 76-yard touchdown from Deebo Samuel and a trio of field goals from new kicker Matthew Wright gave the team a significant halftime lead. However, the home crowd in Seattle was rejuvenated after a 97-yard kickoff return touchdown from Laviska Shenault Jr. in the third quarter.

The Seahawks pulled within six as the fourth quarter approached, but the defending NFC champions put on a clinic from that point on. George Kittle snagged his second touchdown pass of the night, and a Kyle Juszczyk touchdown run with just over a minute remaining sealed the win for San Francisco.

The 49ers took over first place in the NFC West with the victory, now holding a win over their divisional opponent if there are any tiebreakers needed later in the season. Both teams figure to be in the playoff race as the season progresses.

By the end of the matchup, Smith threw 52 passes, completing 30 for 312 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. Brock Purdy totaled 255 passing yards and three touchdowns, pushing his career TD-to-INT ratio on 'Thursday Night Football' to 8:1. He's now 4-0 lifetime on TNF and 4-0 vs. Seattle for his career. He's also 7-2 in regular-season prime-time games. 

Now 3-3 this season, San Francisco regained some momentum as it approaches a massive contest against the Chiefs in Week 7. Seattle, meanwhile, has lost three consecutive games after opening the season with three consecutive wins.

49ers 36, Seahawks 24

11:20 p.m. TOUCHDOWN — Juszczyk runs it up the middle for a six-yard score, and that just about seals the deal in this one. The 49ers will claim a road win, which could be big for the future NFC West results. 

11:17 p.m. — Guerendo breaks free down the right sideline for 76 yards, and he appeared to slide just as he was being tackled instead of scoring. The 49ers will continue to try running the clock out.
