The San Francisco 49ers extend their lead thanks to a touchdown catch by Elijah Mitchell.
Brock Purdy is under pressure in the pocket but is able to slip out of a tackle on the left-side of the field, he looks back to his right and finds Elijah Mitchell wide open who is able to scamper into the endzone.
The 49ers go for two and Purdy finds Kittle who is too big and too strong for Mike Jackson and it is a 14-point lead.

Seattle Seahawks 17-23 San Francisco 49ers
What a start to the play-offs this is with the game well in the balance as we head into the fourth quarter. San Francisco have the lead, and the ball, but there's only a touchdown in it and as we've seen, anything can happen in the NFL. Who wins it from here?

Christian McCaffrey gets the ball and makes a nice gain just after Deebo Samuel got a first down. These two playmakers will see a lot of the ball as we get into crunch time.

Nick Bosa is usually the man bringing down the quarterbacks, this time he's Johnny on the spot as Smith loses possession and is the first man to dive on the ball as the 49ers get the ball back.

Geno Smith is taken down, and the ball is out! Charles Omenihu is the man who flicks the ball out of Smith's grasp as he was venturing forward in the pocket - huge play!
DK's big daypublished at 23:36 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023

Six catches, 111 yards and a touchdown so far for DK Metcalf as he leads this Seattle comeback.
DK again!published at 23:33 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-23 San Francisco 49ers
DK Metcalf takes a diving catch at the third time of asking after a couple of bobbles, but it converts and third-and-12 to move those sticks and put the 49ers on their heels.
Geno's great escapepublished at 23:31 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-23 San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers get hands on Smith but he manages to shake it off and avoid the sack and just throw the ball away to live to fight another day.
Can't stop DKpublished at 23:28 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-23 San Francisco 49ers
DK Metcalf again gets open for a big gain of 25 yards to drive Seattle forward - with the big receiver closing in on 100 yards already.
Great drive by San Franpublished at 23:27 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-23 San Francisco 49ers
That was a typical 49ers drive and their longest of the season as they went 75 yards in 13 plays eating up seven minutes and 45 seconds of clock.
It's so tough to stop Kyle Shanahan's run game with some many different looks and plays he can dial up.

Touchdown - 49erspublished at 23:22 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-23 San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy keeps it himself from no more than a yard out and with the help of some team-mates he's driven over the line.
McCaffrey looked like he'd made it over on the previous play but was whistled down just short - but San Francisco didn't mind as they punch it in on the very next play to go back in front.
Handbags!published at 23:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-16 San Francisco 49ers
There's a bit of afters following that Samuel run as a Seahawks defender grabs and twists his leg at the end of the play.
It's not spotted by officials, and it's not flagged but the 49ers aren't happy and there's a bit of pushing and shoving between these two big rivals.
Deebo on the runpublished at 23:19 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-16 San Francisco 49ers
Nice throw across the middle from Purdy but a better catch and run from Deebo, piling through tacklers as they try and bring down the big guy.
Purdy has all daypublished at 23:15 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2023
Seattle Seahawks 17-16 San Francisco 49ers
Purdy gets a first down on the QB sneak, then he's given all day by his offensive line to wait and find George Kittle across the middle for a 23-yard gain.
