The San Francisco 49ers are crushed by divisional rivals the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks continued their strong finish to the regular NFL season to seal at least a wildcard spot in the playoffs after beating the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seahawks were in control from the start, Marshawn Lynch with two touchdowns in the first quarter.

Colin Kaepernick struggled against the Seattle crowd, with the 49ers offensive line struggling to hear the quarterbacks play calls.

The physical aspect of the game hit San Francisco, who lost Vernon Davis and Mario Manningham to injuries during the game.

Quarterback Russell Wilson is now just one throw from equaling Peyton Manning's rookie record of 26 touchdown passes in a single season.

The 49ers and Seahawks are both guaranteed a place in the playoffs, but either side could still win the NFC West division.
