49ers' offense goes silent against Seahawks, costing them NFC's No. 1 seed

San Francisco's offense had been nearly unstoppable heading into a showdown with Seattle with the No. 1 seed in the NFC at stake

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Stifled by Seattle McCaffrey rushed the ball eight times for 23 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks. He added six receptions on seven targets for 34 yards.

Impact Seattle dominated time of possession, limiting San Francisco to only 42 offensive plays. That limited volume for all of their skill-position players, including McCaffrey. Even when he did get touches, McCaffrey was stifled by the elite Seahawks' defense, with his longest gain from scrimmage going for only nine yards. Despite the disappointing close, McCaffrey concludes the regular season with an excellent 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 total touchdowns.

Set to play Saturday McCaffrey (back) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCaffrey initially dealt with a back injury in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Bears. Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, the issue was described as stiffness by the running back himself Tuesday, when he didn't practice, but McCaffrey got back on the practice field Wednesday as a limited participant and now is clear for Week 18. McCaffrey is four catches away from reaching 100 for the third time in his career.

The Blitz: How Kyle Shanahan and the Battered 49ers are Thriving

Limited in practice McCaffrey (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact McCaffrey was held out of Tuesday's session due to back stiffness, which stems from the evident back issue he was dealing with in the waning moments of this past Sunday's win against the Bears. He did most of his damage before then in the Week 17 win, racking up 181 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 27 touches. Earlier Wednesday, GM John Lynch said on Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News that McCaffrey and other key 49ers were trending toward playing Saturday against the Seahawks, and the running back's upgrade in activity level backs up that claim. McCaffrey will have one more chance to get back to full before potentially being tagged with a designation for Week 18 action.

Impact McCaffrey could not practice Tuesday due to back stiffness, leaving him two more opportunities to retake the practice field in advance of Saturday night's showdown against Seattle, the winner of which will clinch the NFC West title and the No. 1 playoff seed in the NFC. The 49ers may in part simply be taking a cautious approach to McCaffrey's health due to both his importance as the focal engine of the team's offense, and the fact that he's handled 20-plus touches in five consecutive games. McCaffrey previously played through this back injury early December, but he hadn't been listed on San Francisco's injury reports in Week 16 and Week 17.

2025 NFL MVP Stock Watch: Why Matthew Stafford Should Win His First MVP

Again nursing back issue McCaffrey (back) will not practice Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCaffrey dealt with the back issue earlier this month but was ultimately active against the Titans back in Week 15. He hasn't been listed on the injury report since, but the Niners are coming off a back-and-forth fight with the Bears on Sunday night and have a quick turnaround for the NFC's No. 1 seed against the Seahawks on Saturday night. More will be known about CMC's availability for Week 18 as the week progresses.
