US EditionInman: Best and Worst of 49ers’ Season Rife with Injuries and Clutch Wins
The 49ers overcame an ‘annual injury bug’ to finish 13-6 with clutch late-season wins including a wild-card comeback before a season-ending loss halted their Super Bowl run.
- Last Saturday the San Francisco 49ers finished a 13-6 season that crash landed in Seattle with a 41-6 blowout loss, their worst defeat of the year.
- The year was marred by major injuries, including ACL tears that sidelined Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams , while Brock Purdy missed 8-of-10 games and Ricky Pearsall suffered a PCL injury.
- Dramatic comebacks included a wild-card rally in Philadelphia with late touchdowns from Brock Purdy, quarterback, and Christian McCaffrey, running back, plus a Week 5 overtime upset at the Los Angeles Rams and a 42-28 shootout win over the Chicago Bears.
- Offseason questions center on the 49ers front office voiding Brandon Aiyuk's 2026 guarantees as the team moves decisively on after his comeback stalled.
- Looking ahead, the team's depth via Upton Stout and Connor Colby helped sustain competitiveness amid injuries, despite their season ending in a 41-6 loss in Seattle.
