"There will be no fairy tale home stadium Super Bowl for the San Francisco 49ers this year, after they got their doors blown out 41-6 in a playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Niners' largest defeat of the Coach Kyle Shanahan era. Our storybook hopes that the San Francisco 49ers could be playing in next month's Super Bowl right here in Levi's Stadium were ripped from our hearts Saturday night."
"The hits against the 49ers just kept coming, as this fumble by backup tight end Jake Tonges came right on the heels of a Niners blowing a fourth-down attempt where fullback Kyle Jusczcyk himself fumbled the ball, too. That turnover led to another touchdown from Seahawks standout receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and suddenly his contest was 17-0 Seattle while it was still just the first quarter."
The San Francisco 49ers were defeated 41-6 by the Seattle Seahawks in a playoff game, marking the largest loss of the Shanahan era. The Seahawks scored on the opening kickoff with a 95-yard return by Rashid Shaheed and built an early lead after turnovers, including a fumble by Jake Tonges and a botched fourth-down attempt. Eddy Pinero's two second-quarter field goals accounted for San Francisco's only points. Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III added multiple touchdowns while Jaxon Smith-Njigba contributed a scoring reception. The loss eliminates the 49ers from Super Bowl contention in Santa Clara.
