49ers survive Seahawks to win NFC West, No. 1 seed

SEATTLE -- On April 25, the San Francisco 49ers used the second pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Just 248 days later, they are NFC West division champions and sit atop the NFC hierarchy.

To reach that mountaintop, the Niners had to walk into their personal house of horrors and emerge on the other side with a demon-exorcising victory against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.

On Sunday night, that's precisely what the 49ers did, overcoming the Seahawks for a dramatic 26-21 win, the first time they've won in Seattle since Dec. 24, 2011.
