"I think we were at an inflection point of where we want to go. I think it just was just time for us as a group to really say, OK, this is what we're trying to create.' Doesn't matter what it's going to take. Let's stay committed to the process. Let's go make it happen, and to the guys' credit, they've done it. It's been a wild journey and a lot of fun."
"Seattle quarterback Geno Smith, who has since been replaced by Sam Darnold, led the Seahawks on an 11-play, 80-yard drive to score on a 13-yard run with 12 seconds to play for the win. It was the beginning of something special for the Seahawks, who ended up winning six of their last eight to finish 10-7 although they didn't make the playoffs. It was the start of a backward slide for the 49ers, who won just one more game the rest of the season."
The Seahawks defeated the 49ers in Week 11, a 20-17 win that catalyzed a dramatic turnaround. Seattle entered that game 4-5 under first-year coach Mike Macdonald and with defensive struggles, while the 49ers were 5-4. A late 11-play, 80-yard drive finished by Geno Smith's 13-yard run with 12 seconds left produced the win and momentum. The Seahawks won six of their final eight to finish 10-7 and subsequently compiled a 26-5 record since Nov. 17, 2024. Seattle convincingly beat the 49ers again in Week 18 and the divisional round and now faces the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX.
