"The Seahawks are heading to the playoffs as the NFC's No. 1 seed. They'll take a seven-game winning streak, a dominant defense and an emerging run game with them. With the NFC West and conference's top seed on the line, Mike Macdonald's team grounded and pounded its way to a 13-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, getting just enough from Sam Darnold and the passing game to hold off their division rivals at Levi's Stadium."
"In a battle of the NFL's second-best scoring defense and its hottest offense, the Seahawks won out. San Francisco had scored at least 37 points in their last three games, with Brock Purdy totaling 10 touchdowns over the last two, but Seattle smothered the 49ers' quarterback while holding them to a field goal. With their win, the Seahawks improved to an NFL-best 15-2 on the road in two seasons under Macdonald, including 8-1 this year."
Seahawks clinch the NFC's top seed and a playoff spot after a 13-3 victory over the 49ers. The team rides a seven-game winning streak backed by a dominant defense and an emerging run game. Sam Darnold provided limited but sufficient passing as the defense smothered San Francisco's offense, holding the 49ers to a field goal despite their recent high scoring. Seattle improved to an NFL-best 15-2 on the road over two seasons under coach Mike Macdonald, including 8-1 this year. The team will host playoff games and projects as a Super Bowl contender despite occasional passing game concerns.
