US EditionRAPID REACT: 49ers Offensive BLACKOUT in 13-3 Loss vs NFC West Champion Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks secured the NFC West title and top seed by capitalizing on 49ers' turnovers, missed tackles, and injuries, converting 6 of 13 third downs, sources said.
- On Saturday night, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 13-3 at Levi's Stadium, clinching the NFC West and the No. 1 seed with celebratory cigars left in the visitors' locker room.
- Facing a disciplined Seattle defense, San Francisco converted just 2-of-9 on third downs, with a tipped interception and fumble swinging momentum while Pro Football Focus noted 16 missed tackles and Shanahan cited absences of Trent Williams and Austen Pleasants' first start.
- Brock Purdy absorbed hits from a 260-pound linebacker and 310-pound Leonard Williams, suffering a shoulder stinger and bloodied thumb, while Christian McCaffrey played all 17 games with 413 touches and 2,126 scrimmage yards.
- Facing a road-heavy path, the San Francisco 49ers must pursue a wild-card run as a lower seed, with the wild-card round next Saturday through Monday compressing their preparation.
- On the season, the Seattle Seahawks set a franchise-record 14th win and reached 15-2 on the road under Mike Macdonald, while Kyle Shanahan said his team must earn another chance.
