Seahawks clinch NFC’s No 1 seed as Buccaneers cling to playoff hopes

Seahawks shut down 49ers to secure NFC top seed
Seattle ride defense and run game in 13-3 win
Buccaneers survive Panthers, await NFC South fate

Zach Charbonnet scored on a 27-yard run in the first quarter and Seattle shut down the high-powered San Francisco offense in a 13-3 victory over the 49ers on Saturday night that secured the No 1 seed for the Seahawks in the NFC playoffs.

Seattle (14-3) won their first division title since 2020 and are now two home wins away from returning to Levi’s Stadium for the Super Bowl next month after besting San Francisco (12-5) in just the fourth season-ending game ever where the winner was guaranteed the No 1 seed in the playoffs.
