Seahawks Clinch No. 1 Seed with Dominant 13-3 Win over 49ers

Seattle's defense limited San Francisco to just 3 points, securing the NFC West division title and the top playoff seed with a 13-3 win, ending the 49ers' six-game win streak.

  • On Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers 13-3 at Levi's Stadium, securing their first division title since 2020 and the NFC's top seed with a franchise record 14 wins.
  • Seattle's defense held firm, limiting the San Francisco 49ers to three points and 173 yards, with Drake Thomas intercepting a Brock Purdy pass at the Seattle 3 with 10:21 remaining.
  • Seattle leaned on its run game, with Zach Charbonnet's 27-yard touchdown and a converted third-and-17 on Kenneth Walker III's 19-yard run, finishing with 180 rushing yards.
  • The loss sends the San Francisco 49ers to the road wild-card round, most likely as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed, while Brock Purdy’s hit with 1:51 left raises concern for the postseason.
  • With the bye secured, the Seattle Seahawks will host a divisional-round game the weekend of Jan. 17-18, and a win could lead to hosting the NFC title game Jan. 25 and reaching the Super Bowl Feb. 8.
