The Seahawks jumped out to an early lead over the 49ers on Rashid Shaheed's 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the first play of the game and they just kept rolling from there.

49ers left tackle Trent Williams said last June that he hopes to play into his 40s and his outlook didn't change over the course of the season.

Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet exited Saturday's game early with a knee injury, but there's reason for optimism in Seattle.

"Referees are human and people make mistakes, I just think it should be up to the players to decide the game," White said.

Through 60 minutes of regulation in Saturday's Bills-Broncos game, not a single flag was thrown for pass interference.

Kenneth Walker scored three rushing touchdowns, and Ernest Jones and DeMarcus Lawrence fueled the Seahawks defense.

Saturday's stunning AFC division-round game between the Bills and Broncos carried an even more stunning post-script.

In Saturday's AFC division-round game in Denver, the overtime period took a sudden turn when a throw by Bills quarterback Josh Allen to receiver Brandin Cooks turned into an interception by Broncos cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian.

Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross returned Saturday night, playing for the first time since a Dec. 14 game against the Colts.

The Seahawks are rolling toward the NFC Championship Game.
