49ers GM John Lynch completely loses it after…
John Lynch didn’t disguise his feelings.
The 49ers common supervisor was irate after his crew allowed the Seahawks to convert a Third-and-17 during the third quarter of their primetime conflict Saturday evening in Santa Clara.
The 49ers trailed 10-3 at the time and let Kenneth Walker evade a number of would-be tacklers and choose up 19 yards for a first down on a run.
The ESPN broadcast confirmed Lynch fuming in his sales space, placing his arms on his head and yelling in anger.
The drive finally resulted in a discipline objective for the Seahawks, extending their lead to 13-3 — the ultimate rating of the sport.
The win meant the Seahawks gained the NFC West and earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

And with the loss, the 49ers will take either the No. 5 or 6 seed in the NFC, relying on the outcome of the Rams’ conflict against the Cardinals on Sunday evening.
“We’re ready for it,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “It would have been nice to have a home game here — or both home games — and get a bye. But it is what it is. This team’s been through a lot this year. Now we got to do it the hard way.”
It is the first time since 2020 that the Seahawks earned either the No. 1 seed or NFC West crown.

They’ll have home-field benefit throughout the playoffs.
“That’s definitely a point of pride that we can have at least one home playoff game in front of the 12s,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said postgame. “They’ve been dynamite this year. They’ve been absolutely just incredible. We’re really excited to stay home.”
