"I saw it 100 times on film already, Bethune said this week of linebacker Dre Greenlaw's goal-line tackle that preserved the 49ers' 26-21 victory over the Seahawks and clinched the NFC playoffs' No. 1 seed."
"They always bring that up and show us, Bethune said. He had a perfect coverage drop, saw it coming and made a huge play. It's teach-tape, honestly. That's why we see it all the time in the meeting room."
"It's a great opportunity for us, said Bethune, who replaced the injured Fred Warner in Week 6. Nobody thought we'd be here. I remember around the trade deadline, we didn't do anything, everybody thought the season was over, but everybody in this locker room we knew what we could do and we're doing it."
Tatum Bethune recalls watching Dre Greenlaw's goal-line tackle from Dec. 29, 2019, on repeated film as a teachable play. Bethune replaced injured Fred Warner in Week 6 and credits locker-room cohesion for the team's resurgence after the trade deadline. The San Francisco 49ers (12-4) and Seattle Seahawks (13-3) enter the matchup on six-game winning streaks. The winner will claim the NFC West title and the top seed with a first-week bye. If the 49ers lose, their seed would fall to No. 5 or No. 6 depending on the Los Angeles Rams' result against Arizona.
