The No. 2-seed 49ers advanced to the divisional round, but they required a second-half comeback to dispatch the No. 7-seed Seattle Seahawks.
SANTA CLARA — Blowing a 10-point lead put an end to the 49ers two previous playoff appearances, the result of fourth-quarter collapses in the 2019 season’s Super Bowl and last year’s NFC Championship Game.
It will be the Vikings if they win Sunday against the No. 6 Giants, coupled with a Bucs win Monday night against the Cowboys. If the Giants win, they’d advance to visit the No. 1 Philadelphia Eagles, thus sending the Bucs-Cowboys winner to Levi’s Stadium, likely next Sunday. All went the 49ers’ way after that, however. They scored over 30 points for the eighth time in this 11-game win streak, and for the fifth time in Brock Purdy’s six starts.
Christian McCaffrey ran for 119 yards, and one of his two receptions went for a touchdown. Samuel finished with 133 yards on six receptions, and Brandon Aiyuk added 73 yards on six catches. The 49ers’ lead swelled to 31-17 when Purdy magically escaped pressure and threw across the field to Elijah Mitchell for a 7-yard touchdown catch, followed by George Kittle’s two-point conversion grab.
