The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> have been mercilessly ridiculed online after an elaborate tunnel entrance preceded their humiliating playoff exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans pounced on The Niners after they were systematically dismantled by the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> in a 41-6 defeat in the NFC Divisional Round on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shortly after the loss, footage of their pre-game tunnel walk-out showed the 49ers roster dancing and hyping themselves up before taking to Lumen Field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, their celebrations proved short-lived as Rashid Shaheed returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown just 13 seconds into the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The stunning touchdown kickstarted the Seahawks drubbing of the 49ers and sparked the furious online reaction centered around their walk-out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taking to X, one fan shared the clip and wrote: ‘All this just to come out and kick 2 field goals’.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers have been mocked for their walk-out on Saturday night<\/p>\n

The team had an elaborate dance routine – along with a boombox – before they took to the field (Pictured: 49ers walk-out prior to their game against the Philadelphia Eagles on January 11th)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Another wrote: ‘If you walk out like this, at an opposing teams\u2019 stadium, you should be required to walk back in like that when you get that a** spanked. Just saying.’<\/p>\n

‘WHERE\u2019S THE VIDEO OF THEM LEAVING AFTER GETTING ALMOST HALF A CENTURY DROPPED ON EM??,’ another asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

’49ers getting off the plane in Cancun next week,’ another fan joked.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons also got involved in action and specifically poked fun at 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the viral walk-out video, Jones could be seen performing a ‘gun fingers’ celebration towards a camera – which ultimately backfired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reacting to Jones’ cameo in the clip, Parsons wrote: ‘Mac at the 27 mark has me in tears [laughing emojis]’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 49ers offense, missing key stars George Kittle, Fred Warner, and Nick Bosa, failed to find the end zone for the entire duration of the contest.<\/p>\n

San Francisco was forced to settle for two field goals from kicker Eddy Pi\u00f1eiro, accounting for their only points of the night.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Brock Purdy struggled under relentless pressure, finishing with 140 yards, one interception, and a lost fumble against Seattle’s defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Seahawks dismantled the 49ers on Saturday night to reach the NFC Championship game<\/p>\n

Tensions boiled over during the game when\u00a049ers<\/a>\u00a0star Deommodore Lenoir resorted to a cheap shot during Saturday’s defeat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cornerback was captured losing his cool and headbutting Seattle Seahawks star Jaxon Smith-Njigba during the third quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the Seahawks already leading with a dominant 27-6 lead with just over seven minutes remaining in the third, Lenoir was seen approaching the wide receiver and driving his helmet into his face seemingly unprovoked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The top-seeded Seahawks now advance to the NFC Championship game, leaving the 49ers to face a long offseason of criticism for their pre-game antics.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks will host either the Chicago Bears or the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl at stake.<\/p>\n
