Lenoir: 49ers would've won divisional round in 'landslide' if healthy

San Francisco's 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir said Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seattle Seahawks could have ended differently if injuries hadn't plagued his team.

"Landslide," Lenoir remarked postgame when asked if the outcome would have changed with a healthy roster, according to KNBR.

"To have those guys, (it would have been) a totally different game. But I mean, we can't make no excuses. We had enough guys in here to get the job done, so I feel like it didn't just go in our favor."

The 49ers entered the postseason missing key pieces due to injuries. Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, and first-round rookie Mykel Williams have all spent at least two months on injured reserve. Additionally, star tight end George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the team's wild-card round victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The division rivals split their regular-season series, with San Francisco topping Seattle in Week 1, and the Seahawks winning the Week 18 battle to secure the NFC West title.

"We're down the best tight end in the world (Kittle)," offensive tackle Trent Williams told reporters after the loss. "It's a lot of things we're up against, not just Seattle."

Williams added: "When you're playing with guys you're signing off the practice squad, guys you taking off the street - you got to temper expectations a bit."

Seattle forced three turnovers Saturday and held the 49ers to just 181 yards of offense heading into the fourth quarter. Quarterback Brock Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards with a 54.6 passer rating, his worst mark this campaign.

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker torched San Francisco's run defense all night, rushing for 116 yards on 19 carries with a season-high three touchdowns on the ground.
