And whenever there’s two divisional rivals duking it out in the playoffs, there’s no way it was going to be easy for either team. In the end, San Francisco put up a good fight, but their season came to an end just one game short of the Conference Championship.
It seemed like the 49ers somehow managed to keep up with the Seahawks all day. Despite injuries to several key players, Kyle Shanahan’s offense played much better than they did last week.

If anything, the Seahawks were fortunate to receive the ball first, or else I feel the results would’ve been the other way around. In the end, a 42 Yd TD reception from Cooper Kupp sealed the deal for Seattle.
Again, not the most realistic sim. But then again, you never know what can happen in a...
