Mullens went 20-of-29 for 275 yards with a touchdown and a passer rating of 110.6 while guiding the 49ers to their fourth win of the season. It was his highest passer rating since his NFL debut against the Oakland Raiders during Week 9 (151.9). San Francisco beat Seattle 26-23 in overtime.



"He's played very good and he's gotten better as he's gone," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Mullens on Monday. "I thought yesterday was probably Nick's best game, especially the way he finished it in that fourth quarter. He didn't complete a lot of balls, but just him getting rid of the ball on some really tough protection situations."



Mullens is up against Philip Rivers of the Los Angeles Chargers and Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans. Rivers threw for 313 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 29-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Watson threw for 294 yards with two touchdowns in a 29-22 win over the New York Jets.
