Incredible statement game by the #Seahawks. Complete domination on all sides. A message to the NFL. This team is so locked in, destined for the Super Bowl. Very, very cool to watch.

Tonight the @Seahawks:

scored 40+ points
rushed for 150+ yards
had 0 turnovers
allowed 0 TDs
had fewer than 10 penalty yards
scored a special-teams TD

No other team in NFL history has done all of that in any game, regular season or playoffs. pic.twitter.com/Owj5qoxdRk

Seahawks held 49ers to three points and 173 yards two weeks ago, 174 yards and six points today. Eight straight quarters without a TD, SF never got past Seattle's 22.

Kyle Shanahan has coached 163 games for the 49ers. His team has only been held under 7 points four times.

2 of the 4 have come in January 2026 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Seahawks have held 3 straight opponents under 130 yards passing, and 6 of their last 9. That is the first time Seattle has done it since 2014. pic.twitter.com/pgCY8T6oL6

Kenneth Walker III is the first Seahawks player with 3 rush TDs in a playoff game since Shaun Alexander in 2003 vs. Green Bay 😤 pic.twitter.com/m47GjOc4He

Felt like the best game the #Seahawks O-line had played all season. Now four straight games with over 160 yards rushing … https://t.co/aWrCNd6h2K

— Chris Cluff (@CHawk_Talk) January 18, 2026

Kenneth Walker III ran for 116 yards and 3 touchdowns, recording a 63.2% success rate, the 2nd-highest in a game in his career.

Walker averaged 13.51 mph when crossing the line of scrimmage, his 3rd-fastest in a game in his career.

What a game by Walker and the big fellas https://t.co/50jdRYFZey

Eric Saubert seemingly was a key figure at the point of attack on all the big runs. Great game by him (and the rest of the blocking unit). https://t.co/IBRUBNdkk4

This play was so awesome — a huge convoy for Shaheed. When it started, I told my dad, "Look at all the blue shirts — this is going to be a big one!" What a great play call and execution. https://t.co/5iRZOFkmDl

So happy for Sam Darnold to finally get a playoff win after 8 NFL seasons. He was a smart man to sign with the #Seahawks and play for the absolutely brilliant Mike Macdonald.

#Seahawks Leonard Williams on Sam Darnold:

"He means a lot to the team. I've been around him in college. Early in his career on the Jets. As soon as I seen him in the building, I seen a different guy. A dedicated guy. Dedicated to his crafts. Dedicated to his work. Dedicated to… pic.twitter.com/d33V1Piljm

Can’t believe this just hit me. We aren’t talking enough about the fact that … Sam Darnold … has a VERY real chance to be the first quarterback in the 2018 draft class to win a Super Bowl. pic.twitter.com/qFMOp66z8i

Great for Sam Darnold. Deserves every bit of it. https://t.co/d1CqImLCkc

The Hawks need to — and almost certainly will — pay Shaheed after they win the Super Bowl. Just like they paid Leonard Williams and Ernest Jones IV after trading for them. John Schneider nailing his midseason trades the past three years … https://t.co/5bhSpQ4RLf

I asked @PattyC233 about the opening kickoff last night, and he confirmed it was formation they had not shown for a while. Another W for Jay Harbaugh:

"We showed 10 up, and just 1 returner back. They weren't prepared for that. [Harbaugh's] a mastermind." pic.twitter.com/fsocip9kOn

The Seahawks special teams has 5 touchdowns on the season.

3 from Shaheed (2 kick, 1 punt)
1 from Horton (1 punt)
1 from Holani (the rarely seen kickoff recovery in the end zone)

It really goes back to Holmgren era. The Hawks are right there with the Packers and Eagles atop the NFC over the past 25 years.

GB 1-0 SB, 19 playoffs
PHI 2-2, 18
SEA 1-2, 16

Holmgren, Carroll, Macdonald … https://t.co/R8km6mYAjF

— Chris Cluff (@CHawk_Talk) January 18, 2026

Macdonald has Holmgren's coaching genius, but without the ego. He has Carroll's culture-building acumen, but without the chaos and drama.

This is why I think he will be more successful than both of those Super Bowl coaches … https://t.co/nmEbZY9vba

Woolen's growth this season has been so impressive. What a great culture Mike Macdonald created to make that possible. https://t.co/uCqPhy8a91
