It was as painful a loss as they've suffered this season, dropping to 11-4 and relinquishing their lead in the NFC West, as well as giving up control of the No. 1 seed.

The Seahawks were down and out. They got up and knocked the Rams out of first place in the NFC in EPIC fashion.

The 49ers have been one of the hottest teams over the last six weeks and have not lost since quarterback Brock Purdy returned to the lineup from injury. They’ll need to finish a sweep of the Seahawks in Week 18 to claim the No. 1 spot in the conference and win a third NFC West title in four years.
