"PASS OFFENSE: F Brock Purdy got drilled on the first snap, and this unit stayed askew as he desperately searched for targets that never materialized. Jake Tonges, the Week 1 hero, started in place of an injured George Kittle and fumbled away the 49ers' second possession before leaving with a foot injury. Things were so off that a double flea-flicker screen amounted to just a 1-yard gain from Demarcus Robinson."
"PASS DEFENSE: F Sam Darnold's strained oblique didn't derail their offense, and he committed no turnovers while getting sacked twice (C.J. West, Malik Mustapha). No defensive end even hit Darnold, reflecting the season's inept production that was impacted by Nick Bosa's and Mykel Williams' exits to knee injuries. Renardo Green got benched briefly to get an earful from coach Kyle Shanahan for his improper coverage, then Darrell Luter gave up a touchdown catch in his place."
The No. 6-seed 49ers lost 41-6 to the No. 1-seed Seahawks at Lumen Field. Brock Purdy was hit on the first snap and finished 15-of-27 for 140 yards with one interception and one fumble as receivers produced minimal gains. Jake Tonges started in place of injured George Kittle, fumbled and left with a foot injury. The rushing attack managed little yardage; Christian McCaffrey was limited by a left shoulder stinger and the team failed to generate a 100-yard rusher. Pass defense produced no pass breakups or interceptions, weakened by season-ending losses to Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams.
