49ers averaged 8.7 points a game vs. Seahawks, 27.5 points a game vs. rest of NFL

The Seattle Seahawks ended the San Francisco 49ers' season with a significant defensive performance in the divisional round of the playoffs. Throughout their three encounters this season, the Seahawks held the 49ers to just 26 points total, an average of 8.7 points per game. In contrast, San Francisco averaged 27.5 points per game in their other 16 matchups, scoring 440 points. Quarterback Brock Purdy managed only two touchdown passes and threw four interceptions against Seattle, while recording 18 touchdowns and six interceptions in games against other teams. The disparity in performance suggests 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will be analyzing the defensive strategies employed by Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald to understand the challenges posed by their division rivals.
