PFF grades show 49ers offense’s power, defense’s lapses vs. Seahawks originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
There was some good, some impressive but still some ugly Thursday night in the 49ers’ 36-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks, according to their PFF grades.
On offense, San Francisco’s star power shined brightly, with momentum-changing plays by George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy. Rookie running back Isaac Guerendo also contributed when starter Jordan Mason left the game with a shoulder injury, gaining 99 yards on 10 carries, including a 76-yard run that essentially sealed the Seahawks’ fate.
The 49ers’ 2024 rookie class stepped up on defense in the team’s moments of need, with both cornerback Renardo Green and safety Malik Mustapha snagging interceptions. The two young defenders were thrown into the mix because of injuries to veteran starters Talanoa Hufanga and Charvarius Ward.

Lavishka Shenault’s 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was a major mistake, but so was San Francisco’s defense racking up double-digit missed tackles for the third week in a row with 13.
The defenders who missed tackles were:
CB Deommodore Lenoir: 4
LB De’Vondre Campbell: 2
DE Nick Bosa: 2
LB Fred Warner: 2
Safety Ji’Ayir Brown: 1
CB Isaac Yiadom: 1
DL Kevin Givens: 1
The 49ers also missed 19 tackles in a Week 4 win over the New England Patriots and 12 in their Week 5 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Here are the PFF’s Week 6 grades on San Francisco:
Defense
CB Renardo Green: 76.7
Green allowed five catches on 11 targets for 57 yards and one touchdown, and he made one interception. The rookie also received credit for forcing Seahawks star DK Metcalf out of bounds to prevent a touchdown just before halftime.
Safety Malik Mustapha: 80.2
Mustapha received the second-highest overall grade on defense even though he…
