49ers Crushed: Loss costs division, Purdy injured

The San Francisco 49ers experienced their most significant loss of the season against the Seattle Seahawks, resulting in the forfeiture of their NFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. The team's offense struggled throughout the game, accumulating only 173 total yards and 9 first downs.

Compounding the defeat, star quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a stinger on his throwing hand during the final drive after a hit from behind, and also sustained a cut. Coach Kyle Shanahan reported Purdy was "OK" and could have returned to the game.

The loss also underscores a concerning trend for the 49ers under Kyle Shanahan: a dismal record when trailing by 10 or more points entering the fourth quarter. Since 2017, the team remains winless in such situations, including the current 0-47 record.
