49ers report card: Trouble not limited to offense in sobering loss to Seahawks
"Brock Purdy got battered, to the tune of a season-high three sacks and eight hits, the final of which resulted in a left-shoulder stinger and surely more pain to his back. He passed for a season-low 127 yards against a defense that allowed only one pass of 20 yards, to George Kittle, who had just 9 yards on four earlier catches combined."
"McCaffrey ran for a season-low 23 yards on eight carries, leaving him with 1,202 yards that rank sixth in the NFL and a 3.9 yards-per-carry average that was his lowest since his 2017 rookie year (3.7 yards per carry). He came within 76 receiving yards of 1,000, adding 34 Saturday on a team-high six catches. Purdy had their longest runs, on 10- and 11-yard scrambles."
"Sam Darnold got sacked twice and fumbled once but still committed no turnovers and didn't ruin Seattle's chances. He completed 20-of-26 passes for 198 yards. Deommodore Lenoir committed pass interference in the end zone on Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the opening drive, and although it didn't cost the 49ers any points, the 49ers did let him rack up 84 yards to raise his NFL-leading total to 1,793 yards. Tatum Bethune and Sam Okuayinonu each had a sack, raising the 49ers' season total to an NFL-worst 20."
Brock Purdy absorbed a season-high three sacks and eight hits, finished with a season-low 127 passing yards, and threw a tipped fourth-quarter interception at the 3-yard line. Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall did not play; Jauan Jennings played through a left-shoulder issue. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 23 yards on eight carries, finished with 1,202 rushing yards and a 3.9 yards-per-carry average, and added 34 receiving yards on six catches. Sam Darnold completed 20-of-26 passes for 198 yards. Deommodore Lenoir committed an end-zone pass interference that helped Jaxon Smith-Njigba reach 84 yards and an NFL-leading 1,793. Tatum Bethune and Sam Okuayinonu each recorded sacks, leaving the team with an NFL-worst 20 total sacks. Run defense showed too many missed tackles, including a 19-yard third-and-17 conversion by Kenneth Walker.
