Well, that was embarrassing.

The San Francisco 49ers came out and laid an egg in the biggest game of the year, losing 37-27 to the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners looked ugly from the opening kickoff. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw an ill-advised interception on a critical third-and-5 that cost the 49ers a chance to put some points on the board.

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks’ offense put this one away after seldom-used receiver Dante Pettis — who head coach Kyle Shanahan has kept in the dog house — was surprisingly called upon to return a kickoff and fumbled, giving Seattle possession on the San Francisco 21-yard line.

The Seahawks scored six players later to go up 27-7, ending any hopes of a Niners comeback. To make matters worse, Garoppolo and tight end George Kittle both left the game with separate injuries and did not return.
