The San Francisco 49ers blew out the Seattle Seahawks 41-23 at Levi’s Stadium to advance into the second round of the NFC Playoffs. Except for the second quarter, it was all 49ers.
San Francisco opened the game with scores on its first two offensive possessions to take a ten point. The Seahawks responded with a pair of touchdown scores in to take a 14-13 lead.
After the 49ers kicked a field goal to retake the lead, Geno Smith took off for a scramble. As the Seattle quarterback began to slide, he was hit by Jimmie Ward resulting in a personal foul on the veteran defensive back.
