Week 17 at Seahawks

There wasn’t any one moment that stuck out in Seattle, but Garoppolo’s outing in the biggest game of the year spoke volumes about his ability to play under heavy pressure.

San Francisco was the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win, and the No. 5 seed with a loss. Defeating the Seahawks in Seattle for the first time since 2011 seemed like an even more daunting task considering the Seahawks had already notched a win over the 49ers in Week 10.

Garoppolo calmly completed 18-of-22 throws for 288 yards with no turnovers, including a perfect 7-for-7 for 132 yards in the second half. There weren’t any touchdowns for Garoppolo since Raheem Mostert had two rushing scores and Deebo Samuel added another, but his efficiency and perfection in the second half against the 49ers’ biggest boogeyman in the biggest game of the year spoke volumes about how well the quarterback performs in the biggest moments.
