Instant analysis of 49ers’ 41-6 divisional-playoff loss at No. 1-seed Seattle
SEATTLE – One of the most injury-riddled yet successful seasons in 49ers history is done, finished off by their second-largest playoff defeat ever.
Saturday night’s 41-6 blowout loss to the top-seeded Seahawks ended the short-staffed 49ers’ season, one win shy of the NFC Championship Game and three weeks from Super Bowl LX on their home field.
Starting with Rashid Shaheed’s 95-yard kick return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff, the 49ers staked the Seahawks to an immediate 7-0 lead … which grew to 10-0, then 17-0.
