This marked the first season since 2004 that quarterback Alex Smith was not on the roster as he joined the Kansas City Chiefs. This was the 49ers’ final season playing their home games at Candlestick Park before moving into Levi’s Stadium for the 2014 season.The 49ers entered the season as the defending NFC champions, qualified for the playoffs as the fifth seed Wild Card, and hoped to win a sixth Super Bowl title, after falling just short during the previous season. The 49ers’ defeated the Green Bay Packers 23\u201320 in the wild-card round and the Carolina Panthers 23\u201310 in the Divisional round, but lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship by a score of 17\u201323, failing to join the 1985 New England Patriots, 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers, 2007 New York Giants, and 2010 Green Bay Packers as the only teams to win 3 straight road games in the playoffs. The playoff loss also tied an NFL record for most losses with a Super Bowl berth at stake with nine (first set by the 2000 Oakland Raiders).The 2013 season was the last season in which the San Francisco 49ers qualified for the playoffs or had a winning season until 2019.Table of Contents2013 NFL draft[edit]Final roster[edit]Preseason[edit]Regular season[edit]Schedule[edit]Game summaries[edit]Week 1: vs. Green Bay Packers[edit]Week 2: at Seattle Seahawks[edit]Week 3: vs. Indianapolis Colts[edit]Week 4: at St. Louis Rams[edit]Week 5: vs. Houston Texans[edit]Week 6: vs. Arizona Cardinals[edit]Week 7: at Tennessee Titans[edit]Week 8: at Jacksonville Jaguars[edit]Week 10: vs. Carolina Panthers[edit]Week 11: at New Orleans Saints[edit]Week 12: at Washington Redskins[edit]Week 13: vs. St. Louis Rams[edit]Week 14: vs. Seattle Seahawks[edit]Week 15: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers[edit]Week 16: vs. Atlanta Falcons[edit]Week 17: at Arizona Cardinals[edit]Standings[edit]Division[edit]Conference[edit]Postseason[edit]Schedule[edit]Game summaries[edit]NFC Wild Card Round: at Green Bay Packers[edit]NFC Divisional Round: at Carolina Panthers[edit]NFC Championship Game: at Seattle Seahawks[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]2013 NFL draft[edit]Notes^[a]  The team acquired an additional second-round selection (No. 34 overall) along with a 2014 second-round selection (originally conditional) in a trade that sent quarterback Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs.^[b]  The team acquired an additional third-round selection (No. 74 overall) as part of a trade that sent a 2012 fourth-round selection to the Carolina Panthers.^[c]  The team acquired an additional fifth-round selection (No. 157 overall) as part of a trade that sent a 2012 third-round selection to the Indianapolis Colts.^[d]  The team traded a fifth-round selection (No. 164 overall) and seventh-round selection (No. 227 overall) to the Cleveland Browns for quarterback Colt McCoy and a sixth-round selection (No. 173 overall).^[e]  The team acquired an additional sixth-round selection (No. 180 overall) as part of a trade that sent a 2012 fourth-round selection to the Miami Dolphins.^[f]  The team traded their sixth-round selection (No. 199 overall) to the Baltimore Ravens for wide receiver Anquan Boldin.^[g]  The team acquired an additional seventh-round selection (No. 227 overall) in a trade that sent safety Taylor Mays to the Cincinnati Bengals.^[h]  The team traded their first-round selection (No. 31) and one of their third-round selections (No. 74 overall) to the Dallas Cowboys for a first-round selection (No. 18).^[i]  The team traded one of their second-round selections (No. 34 overall) to the Tennessee Titans for a second-round selection (No. 40 overall), a seventh-round selection (No. 216 overall), and a 2014 third-round selection.^[j]  The team traded a second-round selection (No. 61 overall) and sixth-round selection (No. 173 overall) to the Green Bay Packers for a second-round selection (No. 55 overall).^[k]  The team traded a third-round selection (No. 93 overall) and seventh-round selection (No. 216 overall) to the Green Bay Packers for a third-round selection (No. 88 overall).Final roster[edit]Preseason[edit]Regular season[edit]Schedule[edit]Game summaries[edit]Week 1: vs. Green Bay Packers[edit]Game informationFirst quarterSecond quarterSF \u2013 Anquan Boldin 10-yard pass from Colin Kaepernick (Phil Dawson kick), 8:57. 49ers 14\u20137.

Coming into the game, the Panthers had won eleven of their last twelve games and finished the season ranked number two in total defense. This game was a rematch from week 10, with the Panthers winning 10\u20139. This time though, it was the 49ers who would come out victorious. Two key goal line stands by the 49ers defense in the second quarter (including a stop on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line) were the major difference in the game. The 49ers defense shut the Panthers out in the second half with constant pressure on Cam Newton, sacking him twice and intercepting a pass late in the fourth quarter that shut down any chance Carolina had at a comeback. Colin Kaepernick went 15 for 28 for 196 yards and a touchdown, while Anquan Boldin had 8 catches for 136 yards. The 23 points by the 49ers were the most points the Panthers allowed at home this year. The 49ers then headed to Seattle.NFC Championship Game: at Seattle Seahawks[edit]NFC Championship Game: #5 San Francisco 49ers at #1 Seattle Seahawks\u00a0\u2013 Game summaryPeriod1234Total49ers377017Seahawks03101023at CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WashingtonDate: January 19Game time: 3:30\u00a0pm.

With Seattle leading 20\u201317 in the fourth quarter, Colin Kaepernick attempted to rally his team, but fumbled once and threw two interceptions in the final three 49ers possessions of the game. Seahawks outscored San Francisco 20\u20137 in the second half. In the fourth quarter, NaVorro Bowman suffered a major knee injury on a tackle and forced fumble near the goal line; his recovery of the ensuing fumble was not seen by the officials (and the league later agreed that the officials had missed the call);[6] the 49ers forced another fumble on the next play and recovered it, but they could not take advantage. In the last minute of play, Kaepernick again had the 49ers in position to try for a win, but his pass to Michael Crabtree in the end zone was deflected by Richard Sherman and intercepted by Malcolm Smith, clinching the win for Seattle. The contest between the two elite defenses led many to consider the game a quasi-Super Bowl, as popular opinion was that the 49ers and Seahawks were the two best teams in the NFL. This opinion was only cemented further after the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos 43\u20138 in the Super Bowl.References[edit]^ Instant Replay: 49ers survive, punch playoff ticket in ‘Stick finale Archived September 23, 2015, at the Wayback Machine CSN Bay Area, December 2013^ “Candlestick Park celebrates its final game on Monday Night Football”.
