The Seattle Seahawks crushed the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round and clinched a spot in the NFC championship game. Here's how it happened:

Rashid Shaheed returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, Kenneth Walker III rushed for three scores and the Seattle Seahawks advanced to the NFC championship game with a dominant 41-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

A battle of NFC West rivals turned into a massacre in Seattle on Saturday, as the home team bulldozed the Niners 41-6. Its reward will be its first trip to the NFC championship game since 2015, where it will face the winner of Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears.

Highlights of Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III from the NFC Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers where he rushed 19 times for 116 yards and 3 touchdowns along with reeling in 3 passes for 29 yards.

The San Francisco 49ers hope to make it back to the NFC Championship Game for the the fourth time in five years, but first they must get through the Seattle Seahawks in the Pacific Northwest. Famous WAG Kristin Juszczyk certainly rocked a winning-looking fit before kickoff.

Those two elevations are notable, not necessarily because of the positions that San Francisco is adding at, but moreso because of where they aren’t adding. Heading into Saturday, the 49ers had two linebackers, Dee Winters and Luke Gifford, questionable with ankle and quad injuries, respectively.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold reportedly has not thrown in two days leading up to Seattle's playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

A short while later, 49ers offensive lineman Trent Williams grabbed Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV's facemask after the two had been exchanging words. Again, the move should have resulted in a penalty but went uncalled.
