The San Francisco 49ers’ playoff journey came to an end in Seattle with a loss against their division rival. The Seahawks returned the opening kick of the game for a touchdown and never looked back, winning 41-6 and punching their ticket to the NFC Championship Game. After a season riddled with injuries, the ‘Niners will not be hosting Super Bowl LX at their home stadium.Despite only taking two sacks, Brock Purdy was under pressure all game long, finishing 15 for 27 with 140 passing yards and an interception against a swarming Seahawks defense. He also led the team in rushing yards, with 37 on five carries. Christian McCaffrey, who was surprisingly durable throughout the season as he carried the ‘Niners workload on offense, suffered an upper body injury in the first half, missing most of the second half. This was Kyle Shanahan’s first ever loss in the Divisional Round of the playoffs as a head coach. The Seahawks will remain in Seattle to host the winner of Bears-Rams with a Super Bowl berth on the line next Sunday.
