US Edition49ers discuss Brock Purdy’s final-play injury and more from loss to Seahawks
San Francisco's offense struggled with just 3 points and two third-down conversions, while Brock Purdy suffered a left-shoulder stinger on the final play, coach said.
- On Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 13-3 at Levi's Stadium as Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers quarterback, suffered a left-shoulder 'stinger' on the final play.
- San Francisco managed only 173 total yards and nine first downs, stalling drives all night, with just two third-down conversions and 12 rushes as Seattle's defense controlled time of possession near 40 minutes.
- Purdy absorbed repeated hits—three sacks and eight hits—with Pro Football Focus noting 11 pressures, and a tipped pass off Christian McCaffrey led to a fourth-quarter interception by Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas.
- The defeat locked the 49ers into the wild-card round while giving the Seahawks a bye next week; Kyle Shanahan said Purdy suffered a stinger but will play, with Williams and Pearsall also expected available.
- Allowing 180 rushing yards and compiling an NFL-worst 20 sacks this year raises red flags for the 49ers defense, which will face a tough wild-card road game after injuries to Fred Warner and Nick Bosa.
