US Edition49ers’ Injury-Plagued Season Ends with a Dud in Lopsided Loss to Seahawks
The 49ers' defense and special teams breakdowns led to their worst playoff loss since 1987, marking a significant defeat during Kyle Shanahan's coaching tenure.
- On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers were eliminated in a 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round, marking the franchise's worst playoff loss since Joe Montana's injury and the worst in Kyle Shanahan's tenure.
- Season-Long injuries left the 49ers shorthanded, forcing reliance on practice-squad signings and missing All-Pros Fred Warner and Nick Bosa despite six straight wins.
- Multiple errors — pass interference, missed tackles by Marques Sigle and Chase Lucas — set up Seattle scores, while Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards, including an interception after Luke Farrell failed his block.
- The columnist declared all 49ers players 'duds,' with Eddy Pinero, the 49ers kicker, and Jordan James, the rookie running back, among the limited contributors, as they scored only two field goals.
- Seattle's late-season surge left the 49ers outscored 54-9 in their last two meetings, and Christian McCaffrey, 49ers running back, called the season an 'emotional roller-coaster' but expressed pride.

It’s the worst loss in Kyle Shanahan’s tenure as Niners head coach…
