Overview
- Seattle’s defense stifled San Francisco, holding Brock Purdy to 127 passing yards with three sacks and an interception while limiting the 49ers to 53 rushing yards.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba led Seattle with six catches for 84 yards and finished the regular season at 119 receptions for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns, a single-season franchise record.
- After Deommodore Lenoir’s pregame vow to shadow him, Smith-Njigba quipped it was “hard to respond back to all my fans” when asked about the 49ers cornerback.
- Lenoir was matched on Smith-Njigba early, committed a defensive pass interference on the opening drive, and recorded three tackles including one for loss.
- The 13-3 road victory at Levi’s Stadium secured the division crown and a first-round bye for Seattle, with a postseason meeting between the rivals still in play based on Week 18 and Wild Card outcomes.
