San Francisco and Minnesota reach 5-0 after Week Five wins

The San Francisco 49ers beat the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 in a game between division rivals and moved to 5-0.

San Francisco’s defensive star Dre Greenlaw was ejected early for hitting Ernest Jones, who was not wearing a helmet.

The teams combined for seven turnovers, and the 49ers scored three touchdowns after Seattle gave the ball away.

New receiver Mike Evans caught passes for 113 yards and a touchdown, helping quarterback Brock Purdy secure the win.

San Francisco has reached the NFC Championship in each of the four previous seasons when it started 5-0 under coach Kyle Shanahan.

The Minnesota Vikings also reached 5-0, beating the New Orleans Saints 23-13 with another strong defensive performance.

Minnesota’s next game comes after a bye, and its wins so far have been against teams with losing records.
