49ers edge Seahawks in close game amid officiating controversy
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers improved to 5-0 with a 32-29 win against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday. A late field goal sealed the victory, although the game was marred by controversies regarding officiating. Seahawks receiver Cooper Kupp was ruled short of a first down on a pivotal fourth-down play that prompted a booth review, which upheld the call. The 49ers benefited from four turnovers by Seattle, resulting in 21 points in the first half. Despite losing linebacker Dre Greenlaw to ejection in the second quarter, the 49ers managed to regain the lead late in the game after trailing at one point. Coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the need for smarter plays following Greenlaw's ejection.
