Seahawks Clinch NFC No. 1 Seed With 13–3 Win Over 49ers

Tampa Bay's narrow win left the NFC South to be decided by SaintsFalcons on Sunday.

Overview

  • Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet powered Seattle’s offense with 171 rushing yards on 33 carries, including Charbonnet’s 27-yard touchdown.
  • Seattle’s defense stifled San Francisco, holding Brock Purdy to 127 passing yards with an interception and limiting the 49ers to 173 total yards with 21 missed tackles.
  • The No. 1 seed secures Seattle a first-round bye and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs.
  • Tampa Bay edged Carolina 16-14 to stay alive, now needing a Saints win over the Falcons to claim the NFC South, whereas a Falcons win would give the division to the Panthers via a three-team tiebreaker.
  • The AFC North will be decided Sunday night when Baltimore faces Pittsburgh, with the winner earning the division crown and the No. 4 seed.
