SEATTLE – The road to Super Bowl 60 in the NFC goes through the Pacific Northwest.
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 to advance to the NFC championship game.
Pro Bowl returner Rashid Shaheed took the opening kickoff 95 yards to the house to begin the game – the Seahawks were off to the races from there.
The Seahawks got the opening kickoff return touchdown, the defense got a fourth-down stop and a takeaway in the first quarter alone as they stormed out to a 17-0 first-quarter lead.
Later, the Seahawks went on a 10-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that was capped off with a seven-yard touchdown run by running back Kenneth Walker III to give Seattle a 24-6 advantage at halftime.
