Brock Purdy’s playoff debut comes Saturday with a talent-laden 49ers squad looking to top the Seattle Seahawks in the wild-card round.
SANTA CLARA – It’s “Super Wild Card Weekend,” which suggests something super wild could ruin the 49ers’ entrance to the NFL playoffs Saturday.
The Seahawks lost six games by a touchdown or less this season, so Shanahan has reason to predict a tight finish at Levi’s Stadium. The Seahawks have lost only twice in eight visits, the last being a 27-7 defeat in the 49ers’ home opener Sept. 18. A couple of the 49ers’ home games included portions of showers, and they have since practiced in the rain more time than any season in recent memory, including Wednesday’s biggest session of the week.
The San Francisco 49ers huddle in the rain against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2022. The Seahawks will be on the lookout for Lenoir, assuming he starts his 13th straight game since Emmanuel Moseley’s season-ending knee injury.
Neither Metcalf nor Lockett have scored against the 49ers this season, combining for 27 receptions and 265 yards. Geno Smith has completed 31-of-41 passes in third-and-10 or greater, so neither rain nor the 49ers’ pass rush might sway him from taking deep shots. Then again, Bosa did lead the NFL in sacks with 18 ½, including three against Smith, who got hit nine times overall by the 49ers last game.
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey during an NFL football game against the Arizona Cardinals in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023. Neither Deebo Samuel nor Elijah Mitchell were in the 49ers’ lineup for that 21-13 win last month in Seattle. Christian McCaffrey was, and he ran for 108 yards and a touchdown, plus he had 30 yards on six catches.
McCaffrey hasn’t been in the playoffs since a wild-card loss at New Orleans in his 2017 rookie season with the Carolina Panthers. “I know what it means to be here and what’s at stake and the urgency that’s needed to win these kinds of games,” McCaffrey said. “I was thankful we got to the playoffs that year. As a rookie, and obviously everything is a little foggy, but when we lost, it was extremely disappointing. I haven’t been back since, so it’s good to be here.
