  • 49ers' remarkable run ends in NFC divisional heartbreak vs. Seahawks
    Jan 18 2026

    The 49ers endured a brutal start to their NFC divisional-round matchup against the Seahawks on Saturday at Lumen Field, a kickoff return for a touchdown on the first play. Even in a season with a touch of destiny, a comeback wasn't in the cards for San Francisco in Seattle's 41-6 rout. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how San Francisco held its heads high in defeat and how the team can use this season as a springboard for success next season. The duo also breaks down quarterback Brock Purdy's season and how the mutual investment he and the 49ers organization made in each other can benefit through his prime. Finally, Matt and Jennifer provide an early look at the 49ers' pending free agents, the biggest of which might just be defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.
