The Seahawks beat the 49ers 13-3 on Saturday night, not only securing the NFC West title, but also the conference's top seed, which means they will enjoy a first-round bye and homefield advantage in the playoffs.

In addition to that final score, here are 12 numbers that help tell the story of Saturday's win:

14

Wins for the Seahawks, the most in franchise history.

8

Road wins, also a franchise record.

1

The Seahawks' seed in the playoffs, the fourth time they have been the top seed, having also done so in 2005, 2013 and 2014, making the Super Bowl each time.

292

Points allowed by the Seahawks this season, the fewest in the NFL. It's the first time the Seahawks have led the league in scoring defense since they did so for four consecutive seasons from 2012-2015.

191

The Seahawks' point differential, which was the best in the NFL this season and the best in franchise history.

3

Points scored by the 49ers, their lowest total since they scored three points in their first game under Kyle Shanahan to open the 2017 season.

173

Yards gained by the 49ers, their lowest total in nine seasons under Shanahan.

8:01

Time taken off the clock on Seattle's fourth-quarter drive that covered 89 yards. Despite not scoring on the drive, which ended on a missed field goal, it helped the Seahawks put the game away, forcing the 49ers to burn all three timeouts while down two scores.

84

Receiving yards for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, bringing his NFL-leading total to 1,793, 490 yards more than the previous record set by DK Metcalf in 2020. Smith-Njigba's 119 receptions are also a franchise record by a large margin, beating the record of 100 he previously shared with Tyler Lockett.

133

Scrimmage yards for Kenneth Walker III, who had 97 rushing yards on 16 carries, as well as 36 receiving yards on four catches. Walker not only eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards for the second time in his career, he also set a new career high in scrimmage yards with 1,309.

4

Times this season the Seahawks have converted with a run on third-and-15 or more after doing it again on Saturday, with Walker gaining 19 yards on third-and-17 to extend a third-quarter drive that ended with a field goal. The Seahawks have converted third-and-15 plus with runs in three consecutive games, with Walker doing it against the Rams in Week 16, Zach Charbonnet doing it against the Panthers, and Walker doing it again on Saturday. Walker also scored on third-and-goal from the 19-yard line in a Week 2 win over the Steelers.

1

Tackle for loss for Nick Emmanwori, who also had a team-leading seven tackles. Despite missing almost four full games, the rookie safety was one of only three players in the league with double-digit passes defensed, eight or more tackles for loss and two or more sacks, and the only one to reach his marks of 11 passes defense, 2.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.
