Once again, a game between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers came down to the wire. The visiting team came out on top, as the 49ers squeaked by Seattle, 26-21, for their first win at CenturyLink Field since 2011. With that, the Seahawks land in the No. 5 seed for the 2019-20 NFC playoffs, and will face the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday afternoon. Let’s take one last look at the good, the bad, and the ugly from the last football game of the regular season.

THE GOOD

Third-down play: The Seahawks offense may not have moved as quickly down the field as they have in games past, but they did convert eight of their 14 third downs against the 49ers. Three of those happened due to the efforts of receiver Tyler Lockett, who racked up 28 yards and a touchdown on third-down passes from quarterback Russell Wilson. Rookie running back Travis Homer also notched a pair of third-down conversions, while tight end Jacob Hollister, receiver D.K. Metcalf, and Wilson himself were each responsible for one. The Seahawks’ ability to extend drives contributed greatly to their second-half comeback, outscoring the 49ers 21-14 and dominating the time of possession by over 10 minutes in the last two quarters.

Travis Homer: Despite Marshawn Lynch’s prior success against the 49ers, the Seahawks planned on relying on rookie Travis Homer for the bulk of their rushing attack in Week 17 due to his familiarity with their current offense. The team gave less indication that Homer would be a solid part of their receiving game as well, yet on Sunday he posted 30 yards on five catches while racking up 62 yards on the ground. It was a good preview for the Seahawks, who will have to depend on Homer throughout the playoffs; however, he will have to step it up next week in order to make a difference against Philadelphia’s staunch run defense.
