Just as it appeared the San Francisco 49ers were on the verge of securing a big win over the Seattle Seahawks, Geno Smith had other plans.

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Monday morning to share his observations from the 49ers’ 20-17 loss to the Seahawks, contemplate what could happen if San Francisco hovers around the .500 mark into the late stages of the regular season, and much more.

Plus, should Brock Purdy have thrown the ball more against Seattle, or was the defense too much to overcome?

Be sure to check out the full interview with Matt Barrows on the Sactown Sports 1140 YouTube page.

Geno Smith scored on a 13-yard scramble with 12 seconds remaining as the Seattle Seahawks upended the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 on Sunday afternoon in Santa Clara, Calif.

The Seahawks (5-5), who were coming off their bye week, snapped a two-game skid and won for just the second time in their past seven games. Their victory created a three-way tie for second place in the NFC West, with Seattle, San Francisco (5-5) and the Los Angeles Rams (5-5) all one game behind the idle Arizona Cardinals (6-4).

Smith was 25-of-32 passing for 221 yards and one interception. Jaxon Smith-Njigba made 10 catches for 110 yards and DK Metcalf, who missed the previous two games with a knee injury, added seven receptions for 70 yards.
