San Francisco kept its perfect record by edging Seattle 32-29 on Sunday, scoring the winning touchdown with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Brock Purdy connected with wide receiver Brandin Cooks for a seven-yard score, and the extra point gave the 49ers a one-point lead. Seattle responded with a two-point conversion by Mike Evans, but the lead change held as the game ended.

In Detroit, running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 151 yards on 25 carries and added two touchdowns, also catching passes for 56 yards. The Lions' offense produced multiple touchdowns in the second half to secure the win.

Los Angeles' quarterback Justin Herbert threw a 70-yard pass in the final minute of regulation against Denver but was unable to complete a game-winning drive. The Chargers later tied the game before Denver's kicker made a short field goal to clinch the win.
