Seahawks vs. 49ers live updates: Division rivals square off for the second time in three weeks

Both teams have emptied their benches. It's over. Purdy thew an interception and lost a fumble in addition to passing for 140 yards on 15 of 27 passing. The 49ers' season will be over soon as they trail 41-6 with just under seven minutes left to play. 

The Seahawks starting quarterback finished the night with 124 yards passing and a touchdown on 12 of 17 passing. An efficient night in what will be his first playoff win. 

The 49ers are simply overwhelmed in all facets tonight. Seahawks Pro Bowl edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence strip-sacked Brock Purdy, and Seattle safety Nick Emmanwori recovered for the Seahawks' third takeaway of the night. That will just about do it with the Seahawks leading by 35 points, 41-6, with 9:12 left to play. 

Seattle now leads by five touchdowns, 41-6, with 12:43 left to play. The Seahawks can begin their preparations to host the NFC title game on Jan. 25 against the Los Angeles Rams vs. Chicago Bears winner. Walker just joined Shaun Alexander as the only Seahawks with at least three rushing touchdowns in a playoff game. 

Three 49ers drives in the third quarter have come and gone, and San Francisco has yet to score in the second half. Two turnovers on downs and an interception make up their end results in the third quarter. If this were Madden, Kyle Shanahan would be getting asked if he would like to leave the game now. The Seahawks lead 34-6, and they have the football at the 49ers' 37 with 41 seconds left in the third quarter. 

Walker exploded down the left side of the field for a 15-yard touchdown. The 49ers appear to be running in quicksand given the combination of their injuries and playing on a short week. Plus, Seattle is firing on all cylinders. Seattle leads San Francisco 34-6 with 2:23 left in the third quarter. 

Jones forced 49ers tight end Jake Tonges to fumble in the first half, and he picked off Purdy with 6:18 left in the third quarter. The Seahawks take over at the 49ers' 47 with 6:09 left in the third up 21 points, 27-6. 

Seattle continues to pile up, now up 21 points after a 24-yard field goal. They lead 27-6

Williams sacked Purdy for a loss of 14 on fourth-and-2 at the Seahawks 44 on a play in which Purdy had absolutely no chance. The Seahawks' start their first drive of the second half in opponent territory on the 49ers' 42. Seattle leads 24-6 with 12:06 left in the third quarter. 

Walker took the handoff to the right before cutting all the back to the left side of the field. After breaking a tackle, he waltzed into the end zone for the seven-yard score. The Seahawks' lead is up to 18, 24-6, with 31 seconds left before halftime. 

Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's third-and-6 catch was overturned, so the 49ers settled for another field goal from kicker Eddie Pineiro, this time from 56 yards out. The Seahawks lead 17-6 with 4:32 left in the opening half. 

San Francisco picked up three first downs, but they couldn't advance further than the Seahawks' 22. They're now on the board after a 40-yard made field goal. 

Seattle leads 17-3 with 11:58 left in the first half. 

Darnold rolled left off of the play-action handoff, and he threw an absolute dart to Smith-Njigba to put Seattle up 17-0 with 1:50 left to play in the first quarter. 

The Seattle Seahawks are doing everything they can to put this game out of reach by halftime. A kickoff return touchdown to open the game followed by consecutive stops of the 49ers' offense has them in an ideal spot. Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones forced a fumble by 49ers tight end Jake Tonges, and Seahawks safety Julian Love jumped on the loose ball for the takeaway. 

Seattle leads 10-0 with 4:24 left in the first quarter. 

The Seattle Seahawks had all the momentum after Rashid Shaheed's kickoff touchdown, and forcing a turnover on downs on the 49ers' first drive. However, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dee Winters just made a massive play to stuff Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet for a loss of two on third-and-2 from the 13 to force Seattle into a field goal. Four-point swing on that play right there. 

Seahawks lead 10-0 with 5:06 left to play in the first quarter. 

Before Seattle's late timeout blew the 49ers' initial fourth-and-1 play dead, Brock Purdy hit Jauan Jennings for a first down. After the timeout, an option run play between fullback Kyle Juszcyk and running back Christian McCaffrey went backwards for a loss of three. Huge early break for the host Seahawks as they lead 7-0 with 11:16 left in the first quarter. Sam Darnold and the Seattle offense will take the field for the first time next. 

Shaheed earned Pro Bowl honors as the NFC's return man, and he showed why with his game-opening 95-yard kickoff return touchdown. All it took was one broken tackle, and then Shaheed was gone up the middle of the field. Seattle is up 7-0 just 13 seconds into the game. 

San Francisco's offense has been dramatically different depending on the status of wide receiver Rick Pearsall. They're 8-1 while averaging 27.3 points per game with Pearsall playing this season and just 5-4 while averaging 23.8 points per game without him this season. Pearsall totaled 108 yards receiving in the 49ers' Week 1 win at the Seahawks, and he didn't play in the Week 18 loss because of a knee injury. Tonight will be Pearsall's first game since Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. 

* 108 receiving yards in Week 1 at Seahawks (Did not play in Week 18 loss)

McCaffrey has scored a touchdown from scrimmage in all eight career playoff games, the longest such streak to start an NFL career. He can tie Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas tonight for the most consecutive playoff games (9) with a scrimmage touchdown in NFL history. 

Purdy is one of six quarterbacks all-time with multiple playoff wins down five or more points entering the four quarter. The others are Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson and Randall Cunningham. Purdy's four game-winning drives in his first four seasons are tied for the most in playoff history with Brady and Wilson.

* 49ers' postseason record

Seattle wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,793, the eighth-most in a single season in NFL history. That production also stands as the second-most receiving yards at the age of 23 or younger in a season in NFL history. He averaged the most receiving yards per team pass attempt (3.7) by any player in the Super Bowl era (since 1966). Smith-Njigba accounted for the highest percentage of team receiving yards (44.1%) since Brandon Marshall in 2012. 

Seattle has the NFL's No. 1 scoring defense for the first time since doing so in four consecutive seasons from 2012 to 2015 with the "Legion of Boom." They've allowed just 10 points per game in their two matchups with the 49ers this season, fewer than any other of San Francisco's opponents this season. 

Wide Ricky Pearsall (knee) is back after practicing in a limited fashion all week. Pearsall last played in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. Safety Ji'Ayir Brown (hamstring) didn't practice all week, and he was ruled out. 

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold suffered an oblique injury in practice this week, but he will play through it on Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers. 

As the NFC's No. 1 seed, DraftKings currently lists the Seattle Seahawks as the Super Bowl favorites (+275). Seattle is the NFC's No. 1 seed for the fourth time in team history, and they made the Super Bowl 

Seattle had Kyle Shanahan's offense in the torture chamber in their 13-3 victory in Week 18.
