49ers vs. Seahawks recap: Brock Purdy and Co. fall flat in blowout loss

What to Know The No. 6-seeded San Francisco 49ers fell in crushing fashion, 41-6, to the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Playoffs on Saturday at Lumen Field. The Seahawks won the 2025 rubber match against their longtime NFC West rivals after they ended the regular season tied 1-1, and Seattle now advances to its first NFC Championship Game appearance since 2014. Brock Purdy was limited by the Seahawks’ stout defense, completing 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards with no touchdowns, one interception and a 54.6 passer rating — but he led the 49ers in rushing, recording 37 yards on five carries. Sam Darnold completed 12 of his 17 passes for 124 yards with a touchdown, and the Seahawks countered the QB’s oblique injury with a rushing attack that tallied 175 yards on the ground on 33 attempts — including 116 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Kenneth Walker III. Like he was in Week 18, Christian McCaffrey was neutralized and held to just 74 scrimmage yards — 35 rushing on 11 carries and 39 receiving on five catches.
