Words of Prey, Seahawks-49ers: 1t 1s accompl1shed
The Seattle Seahawks’ season is not over. Yet it is already a success. Seattle hired Mike Macdonald to re-establish the franchise back on its rightful perch atop the NFC West, by way of a full defensive makeover.

Ted’s Talk: Weakened 49ers lucky to not get blown out by Seahawks
Earlier this week I wrote a pregame article about the Seahawks season coming full circle in this Week 18 game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.

Once again, the Seattle Seahawks came into another stadium held the NFL’s number one offense to single-digit points.

Seahawks’ NFC West win clinches greatest regular season in franchise history
The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions after a superb defensive display against the San Francisco 49ers, holding them to just a field goal and 173 yards of total offense in their own building.

Seahawks defense suffocates 49ers to worst performance of Kyle Shanahan era
The Seattle Seahawks made the loudest possible statement with their NFC West title win over the San Francisco 49ers. While the offense may have played much better than the 13 points suggested, the defense was every bit as dominant as the 3 points allowed indicated.

Seahawks-49ers score: Seattle dominates 49ers to win NFC West, top seed

The Seattle Seahawks are dominating the San Francisco 49ers through the first 30 minutes, something we’ve rarely said in recent seasons. It’s only 10-3 at the break.
