The 49ers improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the NFC West with a 32-29 victory in Seattle. Mike Evans recorded seven catches for 113 yards and one touchdown in the contest. Through three quarters the offense had managed just 159 yards while averaging 4.7 yards per play, with all 21 points coming from defensive scores or short fields created by turnovers.
Late Drive Turns the Game
Trailing 26-21, the 49ers needed a lengthy scoring drive. Evans connected on a 15-yard reception over the middle, followed by a 9-yard grab and then a 23-yard gain on third-and-10 from the Seattle 49. After a penalty, he added a 28-yard reception on second-and-21 that set up a 7-yard touchdown pass. Evans then caught the 2-point conversion to give San Francisco a 29-26 lead.
Evans Adds to Career Marks
The performance moved Evans to 24 catches, 326 yards and three touchdowns through five games. His score Sunday was the 112th of his career. The 49ers now own their third 5-0 start under their current coach since 2017, with victories already against three teams that posted at least 12 wins in the prior season.
