The Seahawks rolled to a 41-6 victory over the 49ers in the divisional round of playoffs thanks to one of the most complete performances we've seen, league-wide, this season, and a big part of that was a rushing attack that produced 175 yards, Seattle's fourth straight game with more than 160 rushing yards.
Leading the way was running back Kenneth Walker III, who rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries, making him one of two Seahawks, along with Shaun Alexander, to have three rushing touchdowns in a playoff game, and the franchise's first 100-yard rusher in the postseason since Thomas Rawls nine years ago.
And as NFL Next Get Stats highlighted, Walker and the running game were most effective when running outside. Overall, Walker had a 63.2 percent success rate against the 49ers, the third highest single-game success rate in his career. Running outside of the tackles, Walker had 79 yards on 13 carries, including all three of his touchdowns.
Walker also had 94 yards and two scores on his 15 carries against stacked or neutral boxes (seven-plus defenders), giving him a 73.3 percent success rate.
Walkers's average speed at the line of scrimmage on Saturday was 13.51 miles per hour, the fastest of his career.
