Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet combined to rush for 171 yards, Sam Darnold played turnover-free and Seattle's defence was dominant as the Seahawks clinched the NFC West title and the conference's top playoff seed with a 13-3 victory against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night in Santa Clara, Calif.

Jason Myers kicked two field goals and Charbonnet scored the game's lone touchdown for the Seahawks (14-3), who won their seventh consecutive game.
