Fred Warner believes you played a significant role in helping the team overcome the devastating loss of a teammate and earning its first win of the season. The linebacker loved the element that the home crowd brought to the game.
"Huge. Huge, huge, huge," Warner said after the game. "I mean, I've been a part of some pretty loud games. That one was super loud from the start to the finish. I was so happy to be back home in front of our fans.
"It's The Faithful. They call them The Faithful for a reason, so it was super fun to be back out there."
The 49ers welcomed a return to Levi's Stadium after a disappointing and unexpected road loss a week earlier in the regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears.
San Francisco dominated the stat line against Seattle, showing that Week 1 may have been a fluke. The 49ers offense racked up 373 total yards (compared to 216 by Seattle), 189 rushing yards (compared to 36), 25 first downs (compared to 14), and had the football for over 38 minutes.
"It felt good," wide receiver
Deebo Samuel said. "We left one short last week. Right now, we're supposed to be 2-0, but we're 1-1 and onto the next [game]."
While the 49ers are happy to finally get into the win column, it came at a high cost. Starting quarterback Trey Lance suffered a broken ankle at the end of the first quarter and will undergo season-ending surgery on Monday.
San Francisco will push forward with veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, who returned to the team on a restructured one-year contract.
"The Faithful were rocking today," Garoppolo said before leaving the field. "It was a hell of a time at Levi's."
The 49ers will be back at Levi's Stadium on Monday, October 3, for another division matchup, this time against the Los Angeles Rams. However, before then, they will travel to Denver, Colorado, to face the Broncos in a Week 3 inter-conference contest.

49ers insider believes team may prefer WR Brandon Aiyuk play on fifth-year option
The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
