Maiocco’s 49ers Report Card: Team grades in deflating loss to Seahawks originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
SANTA CLARA — The 49ers are too good for games like this to happen again and again and again.
Or maybe not.
The 49ers dropped to 5-5 on the 2024 NFL season with a 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

Christian McCaffrey gained 79 yards on 19 rushing attempts. Quarterback Brock Purdy added 40 yards and a touchdown on five scrambles.
Jordan Mason saw limited action. He picked up 13 yards on two rushing attempts.

Purdy completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 159 yards and one touchdown with one interception and a passer rating of 85.3.
Jennings had 10 receptions on 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers’ next-leading receiver…
