The San Francisco 49ers ended their football season with a 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday’s NFC playoffs divisional round at Lumen Field.

The Seahawks scored the first touchdown within 20 seconds of the start of the matchup, and the Seattle team took a staggering 24-6 lead into halftime that the 49ers could not overcome.

The 49ers conclude their season with a 12-6 record overall.

The backstory:

The No. 6 seed 49ers last faced the No. 1 seed Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium two weeks ago, where the San Francisco team ended their regular season and ceded both the NFC West title and the top seed spot in a 13-3 loss.

In last Sunday’s NFL Wild Card matchup, the 49ers managed to eliminate the defending Super Bowl champions – the Philadelphia Eagles – in a 23-19 victory.
