The NFC No. 1 seed Seattle Seahawks bullied San Francisco 49ers 41-6 tonight in the NFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs. The Seahawks advanced to the NFC Championship Game, and they will host either the Los Angeles Rams or the Chicago Bears next week.

Sam Darnold's oblique injury became the biggest storyline heading into Seattle's divisional round matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, giving the Seahawks and their fans a scare after the Pro Bowl quarterback left practice two days earlier.

The 49ers vs. Seahawks game kicks off at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT this Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026. The game between the 49ers and the Seahawks will air on FOX. You can stream FOX on platforms like DirecTV and Fubo, and the game will also be available on FOX's streaming platform FOX One. You can also tune in on NFL+ for mobile viewing.

The Seahawks dominated the 49ers in every phase Saturday. Another well-rounded performance like that and they'll be in the Super Bowl.

We can now report that Darnold will in fact be ACTIVE for tonight's game between the Seahawks and 49ers. Darnold said he felt his oblique issue wouldn't be enough to keep him from playing, and it appears that is the case.

They may not dominate catching the ball, but the Seahawks' tight ends are paving massive lanes in the run game

The Seahawks destroyed the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 on Saturday in the NFC Divisional Round in front of a rowdy crowd at Lumen Field, advancing them to the NFC Championship game between the winner of the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
