SANTA CLARA — The 49ers’ biggest game at Levi’s Stadium started Monday night with a plethora of points inside a packed house.
By halftime, the 49ers held only a 10-7 lead over the Seattle Seahawks and were busying tabulating injuries inside their locker room.
Hurt in the carnage were center Weston Richburg (hand), wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and nose tackle D.J. Jones (groin). That didn’t help the 49ers as they played without tight end and leading receiver George Kittle (knee, ankle) for the first time in 31 games.
The 49ers (8-0) saw their shutout bid end when Jadeveon Clowney scored off Jarran Reed’s strip sack of Jimmy Garoppolo (12-of-20, 140 yards) with 2:51 left in the half.
