49ers lose another offensive weapon in third quarter vs. Seahawks
Without George Kittle, the 49ers elevated Jake Tonges to the top tight end on the depth chart. However, he suffered an injury in the third quarter.
Rashid Shaheed was the X-factor in the first half, leading the Seahawks to a 24-6 lead over the 49ers at halftime. Shaheed, whom the Seahawks acquired in a Nov. 4 trade with the Saints, returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown.
