Seahawks Throttle 49ers 13–3 to Clinch NFC West and NFC’s No. 1 Seed

A stifling game plan led by Mike Macdonald sends Seattle into a first-round bye with home field secured.

Overview

  • Seattle held San Francisco to 173 total yards and three points in the 49ers’ first game this season without a touchdown.
  • Brock Purdy was limited to 127 passing yards with three sacks and an interception, and the 49ers managed just 53 rushing yards.
  • The Seahawks controlled tempo on the ground with 39 carries for 180 yards as Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet outgained the entire 49ers offense.
  • Zach Charbonnet provided the game’s only touchdown on a 27-yard run, and Boye Mafe’s deflection set up a late red-zone interception to seal it.
  • The win locks up a first-round bye and home-field advantage for Seattle, with national praise highlighting Macdonald’s defense as players publicly backed quarterback Sam Darnold.
