A silly play by San Francisco 49ers DB Jimmie Ward toward the end of the second quarter on Saturday proved costly in the NFC Wild-Card game.
Ward was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit on Seattle QB Geno Smith.
That didn’t make it a freebie for Jason Myers but the Seattle kicker found the range from 56 yards to give his team a 17-16 lead at the break.

Speaking of kickers, the 49ers’ Robbie Gould had three field goals in the first 30 minutes.
In his playoff career, the veteran kicker — he’s 40 years old — has hit all of his 24 field-goal attempts.
