W 41-6 vs 49ers · Jan 17, 2026
Misery Index · Euphoric
Seahawks fans cashing in NFC Championship flights 13 seconds into a 41-6 dismantling of the 49ers.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
R.Shaheed's 95-yard kickoff return touchdown 19 seconds in set the tone, and SF never found a pulse — E.Pineiro's 56-yard field goal was the only points they'd manage. S.Darnold steered the rout, E.Jones added a Purdy interception for good measure, and a fanbase that's been bracing for heartbreak since SB48 finally got to exhale through a 41-6 divisional beatdown. Domination this complete doesn't require caveats.
