The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 36-24 at Lumen Field in Week 6. Here's what both teams had to say following the contest:

Niners Liners

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle's connection in the end zone:

"The first one was awesome. That was a long third down. We were obviously struggling in the red zone to make a big play like that. I think it was third and goal from I want to say the 10, but that was huge. It was a dime right in the corner. It was a hell of a route and catch by George, and I thought the second one was just as impressive. We called a lookie to B.A. They played it coverage where two people were on him. He went across the board and had a hell of a throw to George."

Shanahan on rookie CB Renardo Green stepping up for the defense:

"It was huge. I just saw it looked like they sailed it a little bit over DK (Metcalf) or maybe underthrew it and he cut in front of him. It was a hell of a play by him. Hell of a job by Malik Mustapha, too, getting the pick. Thought a rookie stepped up big-time today, all of them, but Renardo was huge coming in for Charvarius Ward. Mooney was a game-time decision. Tried to get him going. He tried to go, but workout didn't get well before the game and Renardo and the whole defense stepped it up."

Shanahan on finishing with a win:

"I thought we played real well in the second half, but that doesn't mean it's easy to win. It's kind of -- that's how it works. We played well, they played well. They came back and made some plays which made it tighter and I was glad that our guys could fight through that, realize that games are really never over where you can just sit and chill in the fourth quarter. You got to go beginning to the end and we got that experience today."

Quarterback Brock Purdy on "finding the team's identity":

"Our standard is high here and so I think a lot of us will go to, all right, we could have done this or that and be better here, but I think at the end of the day, man, it's a team sport and so to go four quarters with all these different kinds of motions and parts of the game and to be able to rally together and defense get a turnover and us score a touchdown at the end, that's team football, man. That's the sport that we play, so I feel like we did take a step in the right direction for sure and we're always going to be hard on ourselves and need to grow and get better at, but I really do think that we all, as a team, came together and found a way that ended really well."

Purdy on the performance of rookies stepping up in a primetime game:

"It was awesome, seeing Renardo get his interception. Malik on the defensive side, that always fires us up on offense, and obviously Isaac getting in at the end and pulling away. It was sort of like a little throwback memory of like when Jordan Mason got in a couple years ago and he had his run at the end and so, but for those guys to step in, man, it's the NFL. This ain't college. It's the real deal. You're playing against the best of the best so for those guys to show up on Thursday night, a primetime game like that, it means a lot to all of us as a team and them showing that, so we all got their backs and we're going to continue to grow together."

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. on if this game felt like a must-win situation:

"It was definitely a must-win. But we kind of look at must-wins a little different. Must-wins are like if you lose, you're done. So at the end of the day, we treat it as a must-win for sure to get back on track. We have this mini-bye and then we get back to work on Monday or Tuesday, whichever day Kyle wants to have us practice."

Defensive lineman Nick Bosa on if there was a different sense of urgency going into this game:

"I think there was, yeah. We obviously want to bring a high sense of urgency every game. But when your backs are against the wall, it kind of brings it out of you. I'm just glad when the momentum swung there, we stuck with it. That was kind of the message all week. We got the win."

Safety Malik Mustapha on his interception:

"Just reading Geno (Smith). Renardo had good coverage on (Tyler) Lockett and I just went on the same path. (He) overthrew it and I had to capitalize when the opportunity comes to me. Next time, I'm going to try and stay more in control so I don't run out of bounds. But definitely wanted to secure the ball I got. I didn't do it last time when I played the Patriots so it was special to get another opportunity to grab it this time."

Running back Isaac Guerendo on the play of his fellow rookies:

"It's exciting. There's a lot of talented guys in the rookie class, so I'm excited to see some of those guys step up and make plays. I'm really happy for them and excited for what's ahead for us."

Tight end George Kittle on if this was a grimy win:

"We made it grimy. Well, technically, they made it grimy. What a response. We score a touchdown, go up 23-3, and then they go right down with the kickoff return for a touchdown. We don't do anything on offense. They go down and score a 90 to 95-yard drive. All that does is reiterate that winning in the NFL is really difficult. It doesn't matter who you play. Anybody can win on any given Sunday. It's a great movie, but I was just proud of our offense, too. Our defense held them for an incredibly long time, got them through the two-minute warning, and had to score on fourth down, so they burned a ton of time off the clock, and then I was just pumped that coach Shanahan had committed to our outside run. It wasn't pretty the entire day, but when they finally gave us a look that we'd been practicing the entire week, we executed, and Isaac went 71 yards. And then he slid, just so Kyle Juszczyk could get a touchdown. Kyle's in everybody's ear about that stuff. It's hilarious."

Linebacker Fred Warner on what it's like saying its a must win game in the locker room:

"I think we knew the gravity of the situation. We couldn't drop all three in the division to start the year. My message to the guys on the field during warm ups was just stay focused on the process, be in the moment. All this talk about must win, all this other stuff is great, but how are we going to execute? How are we going to come out? What type of energy and tenacity are we going to play with? I think everybody showed up the right way."

Offensive lineman Dominick Puni on how big it was for Purdy to come in and his play against Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald:

"It's huge. He's so prepared every week it's insane. He knows what we're doing up front, he knows everything. For him to do that in this environment, a lot of teams will come in here and get flustered, but he's just so composed every time. He's a great leader to look up to."

Tackle Trent Williams on what he saw from the offensive line as a whole:

"I think we're gelling pretty good. We're pretty much the same group outside of Puni, but Puni plays like he's been here a few years. So, we got lucky with that. But, we're gelling. As long as we can keep Brock upright, he's going to carve the defense up. As long as we can get the running backs to the line of scrimmage clean, they're going to fall forward. They're going to get yards. We're not where we want to be, but we are on a good track."

Seahawks Quotes

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald on losing in Week 6:

"It stings to have lost three in a row, to lose it against your division rival at home, primetime, such a great environment. Guys fought their tails off down to the last minute. But we're not playing well enough to beat the team we needed to beat. Message to the team is we have the people in the building. Our players, our coaches, to become a really good football team. Right now, we're just coming up short."

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith on his review of the contest:

"Obviously we did a lot of things that you don't want to do when you talk about winning football games. We didn't control the ball. Didn't control the clock. Turned the ball over. Had penalties. You know, all the things that we talk about every week. Like I said, when you play against good teams, well-coached, you can't shoot yourself in the foot. Those are the things we're doing right now. That's to be totally honest with you. Just getting in our own way. We got to stop doing that."
