The San Francisco 49ers opened the 2025 season with a hard-fought win over the Seattle Seahawks, extending their winning streak at Lumen Field to four straight games, the longest in franchise history against their division rival. With momentum on their side and national eyes on their performance, let's take a look at where the 49ers landed in the latest power rankings following Week 1.
Week 2 Power Rankings:
Eric Edholm, Lead Draft Writer
"Brock Purdy and the 49ers defense both came up big when it mattered most against the Seahawks, and the Niners secured a big road win against a division opponent... Christian McCaffrey took a bit to get unlocked, but the 49ers didn't hold back, giving him 31 touches on 58 snaps."
Nick Wagoner, ESPN NFL Nation
Best newcomer performance:
"After missing most of the spring with a core muscle injury, Marques Sigle found himself working with the starters in training camp because of injuries in front of him. But, much like guard Dominick Puni last year, Sigle was so impressive that he won the starting job for Week 1. Based on his performance, he probably won't give it back anytime soon. Sigle finished with six tackles, recovered a fumble and was solid in coverage. Malik Mustapha should be back at some point in October after a knee injury, which would give the 49ers a promising young safety tandem to complement steady veteran Jason Pinnock."
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports Senior Writer
"It wasn't pretty in beating Seattle, but good teams find a way to win those games on the road."
Chad Graff and Josh Kendall, Senior Writers
"This offseason, Saleh returned as defensive coordinator, and the 49ers look dominant again on that side of the ball. They held Seattle to 230 yards of offense and 3-of-10 on third downs."
Ralph Vacchiano, NFL Reporter
"It really helped their cause that Christian McCaffrey was healthy and accounted for 142 yards."
Frank Schwab, Senior Reporter
"The 49ers got a good, tough win at Seattle."
