Used as a comedic analogy to describe intensity and resilience ('I didn't hear no bell') in the stadium/playoff atmosphere setup.It's 12. Picture Randy Marsh in that little league episode with Bat Dad. I didn't hear no bell. San Francisco takes to the road again. Headed north again.
Full transcript with timestamps
Seattle Seahawks rested and at home two games away from making the final dance. That stadium is going to be crazy town. Fans are ready to put Spinal Tap to shame. Get ready to hear those vocal cords cranked to 12. Touchdown Seahawks.
Keep rolling. Keep going. It's one louder, isn't it? It's not 11. It's 12. Picture Randy Marsh in that little league episode with Bat Dad. I didn't hear no bell. San Francisco takes to the road again. Headed north again. More than happy to get back in the ring again with the Hawks for a third time. Keep it alive. Broy loves one. It is Tes. Touchdown San Francisco.
So here we are again for the third time. Hawks ners met week one, bookended it week 18. Both games lowscoring affairs. Each team tasting victory once. Seattle taking the division ceiling game to end the year. Dominated defensively, held San Francisco to three points, held CMC to 23 rush yards, held Brock Perie to 127 yds, no TDs, picked him off.
And it's picked off. He bobbled it into the hands of Greg Thomas. It's intercepted by the Seahawks. When the Ners beat Seattle, they held the Seahawks to 13 points, holding Sam Darnold to 150 yards
because he's got Jackson Smith and Jigba open, but it's that deflection. Darnold with zero TD passes versus San Francisco in either game.
Loftton one. Smith and Jigba GOES UP TO GET IT, BUT THEN IT'S RIPPED OUT BY GREEN.
And with how the Ner's defense played the last two weeks, could be in for more of the same. San Francisco held Philadelphia to 19 points, five for 16 on third down.
Middle tip, incomplete. San Francisco takes over, looking to take away the upset.
Niners secondary held Jaylen Herz to 168 yds, a poultry 4.8 per attempt, a sub 80 rate. They held AJ Brown to 25 yards. His hands helped a little, but they played the pass better last week than they did for 2025, but they've been tougher as of late. No issues for safety Gier Brown. Cornerbacks Renardo Green or UPTON STOUT.
IT'S KNOCKED AWAY. Upton Stout, the tremendous rookie, saw it, made the play. Safety Malik Mustafa was tagged with the one Herz TD. Cornerback Deodor Lenor gave up 55 yds. The team gave up 70 yards to Devonte Smith.
Herz over the middle. Quick throw. Smith. Devonte Smith. Another first down. He's down to the 20. Lenor still left with a sub90 rate though, but they did not handle wide outs well this year. Only three teams allowed a higher rate to the position. Jackson Smith and Jigba went for 124 and 84 yards in his games versus San Francisco.
Broke a tackle THEN ANOTHER STILL GOING DOWN the sideline. Bigger than you're going to say he stepped.
He led the NFL with over 1700 119 catches, 10 TDs. Few receivers represent as many slices of their team's passing pizza pie. He is Sam Darnold's first and third looks. A lot of downs. Sammy D 25 TD season, a 99 rate, 238 yards per game.
Play action here on first down. 13 OF 13. AND TO THE RACES, CODY WHITE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.
Sam's last eight games, sub 90 rates in five of them, only two 100 plus rate games, and he threw 14 INTs. Seattle turned the ball over 28 times this season, second most.
Darnold looks that way. Darnold will throw it. Take a shot. End zone. Intercepted.
Those turnovers hurt them on third down and in the red zone. It's why their offense has been clunky at times. Still, third most points per game at 28 per contest, eighth most yards per game.
Darnold steps up, throws on the run, and he's got a man. SMITH AND JIGBA BREAKS FREE. Smith and J down the sideline.
Ner's pass rush has had trouble pestering quarterbacks. Hawks O line nine sacks taken the last three games. Two to four sacks taken five of the last six games. Tied to that, left tackle Charles Cross missing the last three games. He's a stud and expected to be back. Darnold behind a line that allowed the fifth fewest sacks, fifth lowest pressure rate.
And Darnold's going to run it right side. get what they can to make this a more manageable attempt.
Aside from Smith and Jigba, Darnold has Rasheed Shahed. He has made a big impact in their return game. Has made some key grabs in his short time with Seattle. We've seen him all burn dudes deep. The need for speed thing is real.
Going to find Shahed far side. He's dancing and makes a man miss and steps out of bounds inside the 25.
Cooper Cup in a similar boat. His career resume also more impressive than his 2025 resume, but he has made his mark in spots close to 600 yardds.
Sam drops back, looks, going to throw, GOT COOPER CUP WIDE OPEN, MAKES THE CATCH OUT NEAR MIDFIELD.
49ers dealt with tight end Dallas Goddard last week, gave up two TDs to him, one rushing, one receiving, only allowed 33 yards. This week they have to keep track of second-year guy AJ Barner over 500 yards. So 30 yards per game, half dozen scores.
LOOKS FIRES BACKSIDE WIDE OPEN, reaching up, CUTS DOWN. STAY HOOKS. Niners pass rush. Same results versus Philadelphia as they had all year. Only sacked hurts once on 35 pass attempts. Only hit him once.
And he knows he's kind of getting into danger. I'm not sure. San Francisco's front though was tougher on Philadelphia's run compared to how they fared all season. Held Herz to 14 yardds, 2.8 8 a carry. Barkley to 4.1 per attempt. Linebacker Garrett Wallow with 11 tackles. Linebacker Eric Kendricks 10 with two TFLs. They held Philadelphia's rush attack under four per carry.
Tries to cut back. He is wrapped up by Deodor Lenor. Seattle's two-headed back attack can't be overstated. It plays a central role to their offense. When they lost to San Francisco, neither Zack Charbanet or Kenneth Walker did much. When they won, they both popped. Charbanet in 2025, 730 yards, 12 TDs.
Touchdown Seattle. Only four yds per carry. Walker 46 per,027 yds, five touchdowns.
Outside 50. He's down in the 40. He's on the run. 30 25 20. He's going to go 10 touchdowns. The idea that this could be a low-scoring defensive battle again doesn't stop when you flip the coin. Seattle's defense held San Francisco's offense to 17 and three points. And Brock Perie had an 80 rate game versus Philadelphia, throwing two picks.
Floats one deep. It is intercepted. IT'S QUINNON MITCHELL NUMBER TWO. 49ers offense survived it. Perie threw for 262 yards and two TDs as well. turned on his BCB powers on their last drive. Came through in the clutch. San Francisco's offense good for 23 points against one of the tougher defenses going touchdown San Francisco. It's McAffrey.
Six for 11 on third down is good stuff. Two for three in the red zone. One red zone TD thanks to one Christian McAffrey who hauled in two receiving TDs. Six catches.
Juan who's throwing it before going deep. Caffrey, he's got it. 66 receiving yards to go along with 48 on the ground. But once again, he struggled down low, 3.2 a carry. Seattle's defense top 10 in rating allowed to running backs in the passing game, which also pertains to Kyle Yuseek, who pulled in 49 receiving yards versus Philadelphia.
Got time as you check wide open, room to run, puts his shoulders down and down to the Philly 40. Juice and Run. CMC versus linebacker Drake Thomas 96 tackles, three and a half sacks. And Ernest Jones, 126 tackles. Second team all pro. Hawks held running backs to 35 a carry. Lowest in town.
Handoff is to McCaffrey and not much room. A gain of two. San Francisco's offense now back to the hardest team to score on in the NFL. Seattle's defense held five of the last six teams they faced under 17 points. They took the scoring title at 17 a game. Hardest team to move the sticks against. Sixth fewest yards per game allowed. Fifth in the red zone.
Pops back three steps. Throws down the seam. Going to be intercepted. And it's Reek Wool. And he's coming to the near side.
Certie facing a secondary that held quarterbacks to the fewest yards per attempt and yards per completion in the passing game. They held quarterbacks to a 77 rate, fourth lowest.
Has time. Going to let it fly. GOT A MAN OUT THERE. IT'S INTERCEPTED. TURNING UP FIELD IS JULIAN LOVE. 4540.
They think safety Kobe Bryant will be back from his injury. He held his targets to a 59 rating. They're four deep at corner, too. Reek Woolen, 75 rating. Josh Job, 70 rating, 12 passes defensed. Devin Witherspoon, second team allpro this year. Nick Emman Worry, 11 passes defensed. No shock they held wide receivers to the lowest rate in the league at 69. The primary wide receiver they have to worry about this week, Demarcus Robinson. He led the team with 111 yards in a TD versus the Eagles. I was told that was pretty peak kind of out of nowhere as his high was 44 yards this season. Second and goal. Couple of fakes. Pretty quick throw. Caught in the end zone. Touchdown Robinson again.
Maybe Ricky Pieraw plays. He didn't play week 18 or in the wild card due to injury. Jawan Jennings will be out there for sure. Only one catch versus Philadelphia, but it went for 45 yardds.
Will rifle it over the middle. THAT'S A GOOD START. JAWAN JENNINGS racing away from Eagles. Jennings inside the 30.
Hawks weren't as good versus tight ends in 2025, but they won't have to worry about George KD. That's a real bummer, man. So, it's Jake Tanis who had three 58 to 60 yardd games this year. Scored five times. Not a bad BACKUP PLAN.
WIDE OPEN TOUCHDOWN. What an opening drive to tight end. San Francisco's Trent Williams returned at left tackle, gave up five pressures in a 13% pressure rate. That's high. Right tackle Colton McKivvitz, guards Spencer Buford, Dominic Peuny, center Jake Brenell come off good outings. They only gave up one sack on 31 pass attempts overall. Pertie wasn't easy to plant in 2025 either.
Fourman rush. Perie looking to run. A JO in hot pursuit and Py without blitzing much. Seattle's pass rush ended with the fourth highest pressure rate, seventh most sacks, Demarcus Lawrence six, Byron Murphy seven, Leonard Williams seven, second team allpro and Wosu seven.
Scrambles being chased. He goes down in the end zone. It is going to be a safety.
Eddie Piniro money all year on field goal tries. One for one versus Philadelphia. He missed four extra points during the regular season. Missed one of three last week. Seattle's Jason Meyers 41 for 48 on field goal attempts, 85% 48 for 48 on extra points. Seattle's Michael Dixon, second team allpro punter. Seahawks 6-2 versus 500 plus teams. 6-2 with the twelves on their side. 49ers even up versus 500 plus teams after last week, but 8-2 when they're out scavenging for gas. You know, when they play the road warrior role. Look, I avoided it last time we previewed these two, but the game is in Seattle. It's the playoffs. I am legally obligated at this point to revisit the tip.
Up. We got a ways to go. This is the last game of the season here in Seattle. Let's finish on a high note. It doesn't get any higher than this. This is the biggest sporting event in this city. I don't know how long.
A big game doesn't guarantee a fast start. He's looking. He's looking. He drops the ball. Russell Wilson fumbles the roll on the first play of the game.
We got a long ways to go. Everybody just just keep doing things like we always do. Do right. Nice employees. Take your time just way to. Let's go. Let's go.
We got to watch that quarterback now. He going to start playing backyard football now. You know what I mean? Trying to make happen. They going to start They going to start pulling everything out the bag now, man.
Wilson looking. Still looking. Kind of scrambling. Still looking. Now he's got to take off. Running back to the left side. How he looks, how he fires downfield. Got a man Baldwin who makes the catch inside the 15. That play was made by Russell Wilson who scrambled and finally found Doug Baldwin deep for 51 yds. What a play.
Even better than his moves is Russell Wilson's judgment. I think running right Adam's the best thing to do. 145. Run right Adam. Run right by him. They can't They can't keep up with you. 86 Z pivot on three. Go get him, Maron. Turn hands to find a first down and more
and more and more. Once unleashed, a beast can be hard to handle. 30 to 25. He's on the move. He is touchdown Seahawks. What a run by Marshall.
Let's just stay on schedule. Stay on schedule. Keep your point. Let's go. One play at a time. One play after another. Let's go to work. Let's go win this game. Let's go. Come on now.
Fourth and seven. Somebody steps into the neutral zone on the snap at a free play. Throws it for the end zone. Deep down to the back of the end zone. It is caught for a touchdown. Are you kidding me? And the Seahawks take the lead 20-7. The Seahawks had the lead of the best unit in the NFL on the field to protect it.
3 minutes for your life right now. 3 minutes and 37 seconds. Hey, they're about to try me.
Try me. I'm capitalized. An entire season, maybe even an entire coaching philosophy was distilled to its essence. One snap for an NFC title.
40 seconds to play in the game. Cameron trying to save his last two timeout. His wide receiver slotted on the far side. The Hawks need a stop. It's a snap. Brooks fires near the end zone. Holy smoke.
The Seahawks are NFC champions. We're going to the Super Bowl. We are going to New Jersey. We're moving. Go off to the battle, partner. The second time in Seahawks history, we're going to go to the Super. It feels pretty. It feels pretty unreal, man. Pretty amazing, man. Going to the Super Bowl.
