Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers Hold off Russell Wilson, Seahawks with Goal Line Stand

The San Francisco 49ers won't have to leave the comforts of home to reach the Super Bowl.

San Francisco defeated the Seattle Seahawks 26-21 on Sunday at CenturyLink Field, clinching the NFC West and the NFC's No. 1 seed in the process. Raheem Mostert and Jimmy Garoppolo spearheaded the offensive effort for the 13-3 team, but it was the defense that won the game in dramatic fashion with a goal-line tackle of Jacob Hollister on a fourth-down play in the final seconds.

Seattle came less than a yard away from a division crown, but it will have to settle for a wild-card spot at 11-5.
