Pineiro's kick completes 49ers' 29-32 heist after Myers' five field goals

Five field goals from one boot, fifteen points, and still a losing locker room. Jason Myers kept Seattle in front or within one possession for most of the night — yet the final kick belonged to San Francisco. Eddy Pineiro's fourth-quarter field goal turned a 29-29 tie into a 29-32 win for the 49ers at Lumen Field.

The teams traded first-quarter touchdowns — Mike Evans for the 49ers, Emanuel Wilson for the Seahawks — and went into the second quarter level at 7-7. Myers' first field goal edged Seattle ahead 10-7 before Christian McCaffrey's touchdown put San Francisco back in front. Another Myers kick cut it to 13-14, but Gracen Halton's touchdown sent the 49ers into the break up 13-21.

Seattle then owned the third quarter 13-0. Myers' third field goal made it 16-21, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's touchdown flipped the game to 23-21, and Myers' fourth pushed the Seahawks clear at 26-21. A full period blanked — and the fourth swung straight back. Brandin Cooks' touchdown made it 26-27, Mike Evans took the two-point conversion for 26-29, and after Myers' fifth field goal levelled it at 29-29, Pineiro's kick ended it 29-32.

Evans was the swing man. He opened the scoring with a first-quarter touchdown and, with the game hanging after Cooks' fourth-quarter score, took the two-point conversion himself for 26-29. Eight of San Francisco's 32 points ran through him — the early six and the two that kept Seattle at arm's length until Pineiro's calm finish.

Myers did everything a kicker can do. San Francisco did the one thing that mattered last.
