After trailing 14–13 at halftime, the 49ers used a strong second half paced by rookie quarterback Brock Purdy to roll over the Seahawks 41–23 to advance to the NFC Divisional round.
Purdy, who went from being selected last in the draft to starting for the 49ers at quarterback since mid-December, shook off a rocky first half to lead the offense to multiple second half touchdown drives to pull away from the Seahawks.
His play drew the praise of star linebacker Fred Warner after the game.
“He’s the reason why we have a chance at the whole thing,” Warner told Steve Wyche of NFL Network.
