As Dianna Russini of The Athletic shared after the Seahawks' win, the Seahawks earning the number 1 seed has some strong history that bodes well for a Super Bowl appearance, and potentially a win, based on history over the last 20 years.

As we knew was possible, the two teams have now won their divisions in the same year for the first time ever. The Mariners went 90-72 this past season, capturing the American League West title and advancing to the American League Championship Series.

Seattle milked plenty of clock on their 16-play, 94 yard drive. Unfortunately, it ended with an unusual Jason Myers doink off the upright, keeping the score at 13-3. But with 2:20 left to play and no timeouts for the Niners, the clock was about to strike midnight. Four plays later and another turnover on downs, and it did.

The Seattle Seahawks clinched the NFC West and No. 1 seed with a win over the 49ers. Here's what to take away.

The Seahawks clinched the NFC’s No. 1 seed (and the NFC West) with a 13-3 win over the San Francisco 49ers, finishing the regular season 14-3 and locking in a first-round bye.

Seattle rode its defense to a win over San Francisco to claim the NFC West and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs
