There shouldn't have been much concern for the San Francisco 49ers after a 2-3 start to the season. They are still one of the best teams in football. Things aren't quite perfect for the 49ers yet, and injuries have a lot to do with that, but don't think San Francisco has lost much.

The 49ers had a dominant first half against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, briefly letting the Seahawks back into the game in the second half, but ultimately slamming the door shut and beating their NFC West rival again, this time by a score of 36-24 .

George Kittle scored twice and Deebo Samuel Sr. scored a long touchdown to lead the victory.

In an ideal world, San Francisco wouldn't have let Seattle back into the game, it would be undefeated and the talk of the NFL. This start hasn't been ideal, but the 49ers are still pretty good.

One of the reasons the Seahawks made the somewhat surprising decision to end the Pete Carroll era was because they were run over by the 49ers in recent seasons. There was more to the decision than that, but the fact that they were completely uncompetitive against their NFC West rival hung over the franchise. They lost five games, including playoffs, to the 49ers over the last two seasons and none of them were competitive.

New Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald had many of the same problems Thursday night.

The game started well for the Seahawks. They drove deep into 49ers territory. But then Geno Smith missed badly on a throw that was picked off by safety Malik Mustapha. That was the first sign of distress.

The 49ers were backed at their own 3-yard line after that interception, but they drove 90 yards. The 49ers settled for a field goal at the end of the drive execution in the red zone. This may have been the one thing San Francisco's offense or defense didn't get right on Thursday, but the drive was all too familiar. The 49ers pushed the Seahawks around, as usual.

The first half and the beginning of the second half went like this. Kittle's first touchdown gave the 49ers a 23-3 lead. But this 49ers team, which has already taken a fourth-quarter lead twice this season due to losses, needed to make things interesting again.

The 49ers offense consisted of moving the ball with ease, except in the red zone. The defense went all over the field and hit everything in blue very hard. It was San Francisco's special teams that let the Seahawks back into the game.

After the 49ers took a seemingly insurmountable 23-3 lead, Laviska Shenault Jr. a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. It was the second kickoff return for a touchdown in the NFL this season. Then Kenneth Walker III scored and the Seahawks trailed 23-17. Niners running back Jordan Mason suffered a shoulder injury in the first half and didn't play until the first play of the second half, impacting an offense that hasn't seen Christian McCaffrey all season. San Francisco seemed to be in a bit of trouble.

Smith threw an interception that practically decided the outcome. It was miserably undercut by DK Metcalf, Renardo Green picked it out and the 49ers were in position to put the game away.

Kittle scored again and the 49ers led 29-17. The Seahawks got a touchdown back and trailed 29-24 with less than two minutes left. They started the kickoff and still had all three timeouts left. But Isaac Guerendo, filling in for Mason, who was filling in for McCaffrey, broke off a 76-yard run. Kyle Juszczyk scored with 1:17 left to put the game away.

There were some concerns about the 49ers, and having three losses to start the season isn't great for their hopes for a No. 1 seed in the NFC. But Thursday night was even more proof that they still own the Seahawks and the NFC West, even if there is still room for improvement.

  • NFL says it didn't have the right camera angle on the replay review

    Prime Video rules analyst Terry McAulay said the league did not have the enhanced video angle for Dee Williams' apparent turnover that the broadcast showed.

    McAulay's quote:

    “I spoke to Walt Anderson at the command center in New York. What they told me was that they had not gotten our enhanced video where we showed the ball touching the finger. What they had was the raw feed from our cameras and That wasn't the case.” clear and obvious to them that it touched the finger.”

  • 49ers have 1 timeout with 9:38 left

    San Francisco calls a timeout on 3rd and 9 from the Seattle 40-yard line. This leaves the 49ers with just one timeout after losing one on a replay challenge.

  • Seahawks can't capitalize

    Despite getting an apparent break on a replay review, the Seahawks are forced to punt after a five-play, 12-yard drive. Seattle couldn't get another first down after Zach Charbonnet's nine-yard run on 2nd-and-7 to the Seahawks' 30-yard line.

  • Questionable repeat review

    Seattle apparently committed a turnover when punt returner Dee Williams touched the ball before the 49ers downed him. Initially, it appeared San Francisco hit the Seattle returner before he could catch the ball. But officials agreed the tackler was pushed into the receiver.

    The 49ers called for a review of the play, arguing that Seattle had touched the ball. Replay seemed to confirm that, but the call was accepted.

  • 3rd quarter: 49ers 23, Seahawks 17

    What looked like a 49ers rout in the making is now a ballgame as we head into the fourth quarter.

    San Francisco has the ball at their 26-yard line on 4th-and-3 after Brock Purdy threw a 7-yard pass to Jauan Jennings. They start the fourth quarter with a punt.

  • Touchdown, Seahawks

    The Seahawks are back at it again. Kenneth Walker caps off a 13-play, 94-yard drive with a one-yard TD run. The extra point cuts the 49ers' lead to 23-17.

    The scoring drive was highlighted as Geno Smith hit Tyler Lockett for a 37-yard gain.

  • A holding penalty kills the 49ers' next drive

    After gaining a first down to open their next possession, the 49ers' drive stalled, largely due to a holding penalty on Jake Brendal.

    On 3rd and 18, Brock Purdy completed a 15-yard pass to Deebo Samuel. But on 4 and 3, San Francisco had to punt out of 50 on 4 and 3
