"SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- There are some memories that Seattle Seahawks fans will forever hold dear when it comes to their team's rivalry with the San Francisco 49ers. Kam Chancellor's bone-rattling hit on Vernon Davis in 2012. Richard Sherman's end zone tip to seal the NFC Championship Game the following season. Sherman and Russell Wilson eating turkey legs on the 49ers' logo at Levi's Stadium after a Thanksgiving beatdown in 2014. And now, Kenneth Walker III on third-and-really-long."
"Walker's improbable conversion in the third quarter Saturday night was among the key plays that helped the Seahawks claim the NFC West and the conference's No. 1 seed. What will make that the indelible moment of their 13-3 victory was what happened right after: NBC showing a slow-motion replay of 49ers general manager John Lynch putting his hands on his head in disbelief, then throwing them down in anger while appearing to yell, "Oh my god!""
Seahawks fans retain vivid rivalry memories including Kam Chancellor's hit, Richard Sherman's end-zone tip, and Sherman and Russell Wilson's Levi's Stadium stunt. Kenneth Walker III converted an improbable third-and-long in the third quarter that became a defining play en route to a 13-3 victory and the NFC West title. NBC replayed 49ers general manager John Lynch's shocked and angry reaction. Walker credited an open lane and cutting back for the first down. Walker and Zach Charbonnet combined for 171 of Seattle's 180 rushing yards, marking a third straight week with at least 160 rushing yards and a suddenly potent run game.
