The Seattle Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 13-3 in Week 18, but the game wasn't really that close. In fact, Seattle deserves some criticism for not winning by at least two touchdowns. Kicker Jason Myers missed two field goals, one an easy one.
Because the game wasn't extremely close, especially midway through the fourth quarter, San Francisco needed to create its own breaks. That meant stopping Seattle from getting splash run plays on 3rd-and-long. One play in the third quarter typified the game, and 49ers general manager John Lynch had the best reaction to it.
