Seahawks Clinch No. 1 Seed With 13-3 Win Over 49ers as Kittle Calls for Playoff Reset

San Francisco now opens the postseason on the road with seeding to be settled by RamsCardinals.

Overview

  • Seattle’s victory at Levi’s Stadium secured the NFC West title, the conference’s top seed, and a first-round bye.
  • The 49ers will enter the Wild Card round as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on the RamsCardinals result.
  • George Kittle urged a quick mentality shift, saying the team should treat the playoffs as a "whole new season," and punctuated his remarks with a "Go Cardinals" aside.
  • Kittle returned to action and caught five passes for 29 yards as Seattle held Brock Purdy to 127 passing yards, limited San Francisco to 53 rushing yards, and logged three sacks with an interception.
  • Asked about the Seahawks celebrating, Kittle said he was not offended and noted he would do the same after clinching the division and top seed.
