How it unfolded
The Seahawks opened with a Jason Myers field goal. The 49ers answered with a Robbie Gould field goal. Beathard threw a touchdown to Aiyuk to make it 10-3. Wilson connected with Tyler Lockett for a touchdown. The first half closed at 14-10 Seattle. The third quarter was a Beathard touchdown to McKinnon and another Seahawks score to make it 21-17. The fourth quarter was a Seattle field goal and a Beathard touchdown to Trent Taylor that tied it at 23-23 with 1:38 left. Russell Wilson drove the Seahawks 56 yards to Myers's 39-yard winner with 9 seconds left.
The turning point
The Wilson-led drive for the winning field goal. With the score tied at 23 and the 49ers' defense having played well enough to extend the game into the closing minutes, Wilson's 56-yard drive ending in Myers's field goal was the kind of late-game possession a Pro Bowl quarterback finishes.
By the numbers
Beathard 25-of-41 for 252 with three TDs. Russell Wilson 20-of-30 for 171 with one TD. Metcalf 7 catches for 81. Aiyuk 5 catches for 90 with a TD. The 49ers' final defense produced one sack and one takeaway.
Personnel watch
Beathard in his third straight start producing the kind of stat line that gave the front office something to think about for 2021. Aiyuk closing his rookie year with 60 catches for 748 yards and 5 touchdowns. The 49ers' final game at the relocated home venue played to mostly empty seats with pumped crowd noise.
What it means
6-10. Last in the NFC West behind the Seahawks (12-4), Rams (10-6), and Cardinals (8-8). The season started as a Super Bowl-rematch chase and ended as the worst injury year of the Kyle Shanahan era. The offseason will be about the QB1 conversation (Garoppolo's future), the Bosa rehab, and the rebuild of the front four. Levi's Stadium reopens in 2021.
