49ers beat Seahawks 26-21, earn No. 1 seed in NFC

The 49ers did it. They won in Seattle.

It wasn’t easy and took a goal line stand by the defense, but San Francisco prevailed 26-21 to finish 13-3 and win the NFC West and earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

It was San Francisco’s first win in Seattle since 2011. Their 26 points were their most at CenturyLink Field since 2008.

Here are the final NFC playoff standings.

1. 49ers (13-3)
2. Packers (13-3)
3. Saints (13-3)
4. Eagles (9-7)
5. Seahawks (12-4)
6. Vikings (10-6)

The 49ers get wild card weekend off,  and will open their first postseason since 2013 at home against either the Seahawks, Vikings or Eagles.
