WATCH: 49ers defense comes up with goal line stand to beat Seahawks

The 49ers defense stood tall in the biggest moment of the season.

The 49ers defense stood tall Sunday night in Seattle. A unit that struggled through the last quarter of the year got their biggest stop of the season when the Seahawks, trailing 26-21, had eight chances to score from inside the red zone.

On fourth-and-goal from the 5, Russell Wilson found tight end Jacob Hollister at the goal line, but a huge hit by 49ers rookie LB Dre Greenlaw flattened Hollister short of the end zone.

The stop secured a 26-21 win for the 49ers. They won the NFC West, and grabbed the No. 1 seed in the NFC by mere inches.
