49ers GM John Lynch completely loses it after massive Seahawks play in wild on-air moment

John Lynch didn’t hide his emotions.The 49ers general manager was irate after his team allowed the Seahawks to convert a 3rd-and-17 during the third quarter of their primetime clash Saturday night in Santa Clara.The 49ers trailed 10-3 at the time and let Kenneth Walker evade multiple would-be tacklers and pick up 19 yards for a first down on a run.The ESPN broadcast showed Lynch fuming in his booth, putting his hands on his head and yelling in anger.

The drive eventually resulted in a field goal for the Seahawks, extending their lead to 13-3 — the final score of the game.The win meant the Seahawks won 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, depending on the result of the Rams’ clash against the Cardinals on Sunday night.“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 advantage 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.”...
