The San Francisco 49ers lost 43-16 to the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field on Sunday and dropped to 2-10 on the season.
Below is a mix of key player and team stats provided by the NFL, the 49ers, and Pro Football Focus.
Key Player Statistics
QB
Nick Mullens completed 30-of-48 passes for a career-high 414 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. It marked the first time in his career he has thrown for 400-or-more yards.
Mullens' passer rating of 95.3 was the second-highest of his four starts and marks the first time the rating has risen from one week to the next.
Mullens' 414 passing yards on the day are the most by a 49ers QB since Tim Rattay registered 417 passing yards against Arizona on October 10, 2004.
Mullens is the first 49ers QB to throw for 400-or-more yards in a single game since Colin Kaepernick did so (412 yards) against the Green Bay Packers on September 8, 2013.
Mullens had a lot of success throwing downfield. He was 6-of-8 for 156 yards with a touchdown and a passer rating of 156.3 on throws of 10-or-more yards, according to Pro Football Focus.
WR
Dante Pettis hauled in five receptions for 129 yards (25.8 average) and two touchdowns, all career highs. He hauled in touchdown passes of 17 and 75 yards from Mullens.
This marks the first time in his career that he has registered two-or-more touchdown receptions in a single-game. This marked the 11th time in franchise history, and first since WR J.J. Stokes vs. St. Louis (2 touchdown receptions) on November 26, 1995, that a 49ers rookie registered at least two touchdown receptions in a game.
Pettis now has four touchdown receptions on the season, including at least one in consecutive games. His four are the most by a member of the 49ers in his rookie season since WR Terrell Owens registered four touchdown receptions in 1996, and are tied for the fourth-most by a rookie in 49ers franchise history.
Pettis' 129 reception yards on the day are the fourth-most by a rookie in franchise history in a single game and are the most since WR Jerry Rice registered 241 receptions yards versus the Los Angeles Rams on December 9, 1985. His 129 receiving yards are the most by a member of the 49ers since WR Pierre Garçon registered 142 reception yards versus the Los Angeles Rams on September 21, 2017.
RB
Jeff Wilson registered career highs with 15 carries for 61 yards on the ground along with eight receptions for 73 yards.
Wilson's eight receptions are the most by a 49ers RB since Carlos Hyde registered nine against Arizona on November 5, 2017.
RB
Matt Breida hauled in three receptions for a career-high 51 receiving yards.

Mike Person had subpar games when it came to run blocking, according to Pro Football Focus. Richburg had a 35.4 run-block grade while Person had a 45.5 run-block grade.
DT
DeForest Buckner registered two sacks on the day, bringing down Seahawks QB
Russell Wilson for losses of one and five yards.
Buckner has now registered at least half a sack in four consecutive games, the longest streak of his career. He is the first member of the 49ers to register at least half a sack in four consecutive games since LB Aldon Smith accomplished the feat in Weeks 7-14 of the 2012 season.
Buckner's nine sacks are the most by a member of the 49ers in a single season since Aldon Smith registered 19.5 sacks in 2012.
Buckner has registered two-or-more sacks in a single game four times in his career and twice this season (2.5 sacks at Min. on 9/9/18).
DE
Arik Armstead earned the top Pro Football Focus grade (73.1) on defense for the second time in three games. His 86.1 grade against the run over the course of the season ranks fourth among NFL edge defenders.

Solomon Thomas played 14 of his 29 snaps along the interior of the defensive line. He did, however, struggle with an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 45.4 while registering a quarterback hit.
DL
Ronald Blair sacked Wilson for a loss of 16 yards, extending his single-season career high to 4.5 sacks. He now has 9.5 sacks in his career.

Just when you thought the San Francisco 49ers and Tom Brady storylines had concluded, the future Hall of Fame quarterback drops another tidbit that sparks discussion. During an episode of "DeepCut with VicBlends," the host asked Brady what he would do if the NFL came calling once again.
VicBlends inquired if Brady would consider returning to the football field if a playoff-bound team like the 49ers needed him.
"I'm not opposed to it," Brady said, per Jordan Mendoza of USA Today. "I don't know if they're gonna let me if I become an owner an NFL team. I don't know, I'm always gonna be in good shape, always be able to
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023

NFL local pro days provide draft prospects with ties to the local area an opportunity to showcase their talents to team personnel. These prospects typically hail from nearby colleges or have other connections to the region where the team is based.
