With their 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> on Saturday after Lumen Field, the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>‘ 2025 campaign has officially come to an end.<\/p>\n

Throughout the regular season, Kyle Shanahan’s squad overcame injuries to several key players and put together a 12-5 record which was good enough for the third spot in the division and the sixth seed in the NFC playoff bracket.<\/p>\n

While they didn’t make it out of the divisional round, there are still plenty of positive things to take away from the year.<\/p>\n

As we continue to review this season, let’s take a look at the Pro Football Focus grades<\/a> to see who they believe were the best and worst 49ers<\/a> on the field this year.<\/p>\n
