49ers Lose No. 1 Seed After 13-3 Defeat as Purdy Suffers Late Stinger

Kyle Shanahan said Purdy would have returned, with linebacker depth now in question before the wild-card trip.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy sustained a stinger on the final offensive play, checked out in the medical tent, and was available to re-enter if needed.
  • San Francisco fell 13-3 to Seattle, forfeiting the NFC’s top seed and first-round bye and setting up a road game in the wild-card round.
  • Purdy was hit by Derick Hall and Leonard Williams on the late incompletion, finished 19-of-27 for 127 yards with one interception, and was sacked three times.
  • The 49ers’ offense produced 173 yards as Seattle pressured Purdy and contained Christian McCaffrey, who was held to 23 rushing yards.
  • Shanahan reported injuries to linebackers Dee Winters (ankle) and Tatum Bethune (groin), neither of whom returned, and noted Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall pushed to play and could be back for the postseason.
