The 49ers won the coin toss.{{cite web | url=http://www.49ers.com/video/videos/49ers_Win_Coin_Toss_Over_Raiders_for_Ninthoverall_Pick/c2e85f80-9384-4856-8592-05d3b4026993 | title=49ers win coin toss | access-date=March 2, 2018 }}{{Dead link|date=June 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

The 49ers held a 30–23 lead in the final three minutes, but Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Davante Adams to tie the game with less than 2 minutes left. On the 49ers' next drive, a critical C. J. Beathard interception plus an illegal contact penalty on Richard Sherman in the final minute led to a 27-yard game-winning field goal by Mason Crosby to send the 49ers to a 33–30 loss and a 1–5 record heading into next week's home game against the undefeated Rams.

This was the first time since 2013 that the 49ers beat the Seahawks, snapping a 10-game losing streak which dates back to the 2013 NFC Championship Game. This also prevented the Seahawks from clinching a Wild-Card Berth that week. The win would be the final win of the season putting the 49ers at 4-10.
