"Your San Francisco 49ers came into an unusual Saturday night NFL game with a sterling 12-4 record and a glorious fairy tale scenario in front of them: beat the Seattle Seahawks, which would win them the Number 1 seed in the NFC, and they would have home field advantage all the way through the Super Bowl which is being played at Levi's Stadium."
"And then came the late third quarter play that will haunt the 49ers' film room all week. With the Seahawks looking at , and up by just seven points, the Niners were primed to get the ball right back on a punt. But they somehow allowed Seahawks backup running back Kenneth Walker III to gash deep into their secondary for a 19-yard gain, which would set up another Seattle field goal and a 13-3 deficit."
San Francisco entered the game 12-4 with a chance to secure the NFC No.1 seed and home-field through the Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium. Seattle beat San Francisco 13-3, the Niners' fewest points of the season, despite a short-handed defense that produced a goal-line stand. Zach Charbonnet scored the game's only touchdown on a 27-yard run. Both teams exchanged field goals in the second quarter, and a late third-quarter 19-yard run by Kenneth Walker III set up another Seattle field goal, sealing the final score.
