It took strong performances from a lot of unexpected names to get the job done. Who stepped up the most?<\/p>\n<p>5 San Francisco 49ers who stepped up to beat the Seattle Seahawks\u00a0Mike Evans\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ae\">Evans has been excellent for the 49ers this year. However, whether it be blowouts or injuries, he has not put in a full effort yet. Sunday, we saw the entire skill set of Evans. The All-Pro receiver had seven catches for 114 yards and a touchdown. Evans dominated and averaged 4.35 yards per route run. His season total is 3.05. Anything above two is considered extremely good, which speaks to how well Evans has played. The 49ers made a great addition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gracen Halton\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ao\">It is almost every week that Halton is being discussed as a player on the rise. The rookie from Oklahoma had three pressures and a forced fumble that he recovered for a touchdown. He is playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/49ers\/onsi\/49ers-rookie-expectations-gracen-halton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more than expected<\/a> due to injuries around him, and he is taking advantage. You can call him a starter moving forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Renardo Green\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ay\">Green has consistently been asked to step up this year, and every time the team calls on him, he delivers. He allowed two receptions for five yards in coverage, and star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was 1-for-3 when he saw a pass with Green defending him. Green had a pick on one of those targets and added a second interception in the game. He has been a stock-up player all season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01m4r3d9fer5x6eme9d7.jpg\" alt=\"49ers\" title=\"49ers\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"ba\"\/><\/p>\n<p>IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n<p>Malik Mustapha\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bl\">With Marques Sigle on the sidelines, the team called on their former starter Malik Mustapha to jump into the lineup. Considering he was a former starter, the expectations were higher than for most backups. Still, Mustapha lived up to them and then some. Whether he is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/49ers\/onsi\/how-49ers-take-advantage-malik-mustapha-starting\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">boosting his trade stock<\/a> or competing to get back into the lineup, Mustapha made a strong case today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jaden Dugger<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bv\">Dugger has been the 49ers&#8217; third linebacker the entire season. So, when Dre Greenlaw was tossed from the game early, the team threw even more responsibility on the rookie linebacker. Dugger lived up to the hype so far. He added six tackles and a sack. For a fifth-round rookie who is new to the position, there is a lot to like in his progression so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:click=\"q-DqWrLptv.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"c1\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers won their most impressive performance of the season, beating the Seattle Seahawks 32-29.
