Overview
- Seattle’s win secured the division crown and the NFC’s top seed, delivering a first-round bye and home-field advantage.
- The 49ers will open the postseason on the road as either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed, which hinges on the Rams–Cardinals result.
- George Kittle acknowledged the disappointment and urged a quick reset, saying the team now treats the playoffs as a whole new season.
- Kittle, who returned after missing Week 17, had five catches for 29 yards as San Francisco’s offense struggled to find rhythm.
- Seattle’s defense limited Brock Purdy to 127 passing yards, held the 49ers to 53 rushing yards, and produced three sacks with an interception.
