Summary
Richard Sherman shares his excitement over an explosive Saturday Divisional Round, where the Seattle Seahawks completely dominated the San Francisco 49ers from start to finish, delivering one of the most lopsided playoff performances of the year. Sherm breaks down how Mike Macdonald’s defense dismantled Kyle Shanahan’s offense, forcing turnovers, shutting out the 49ers in the end zone, and physically imposing its will in every phase of the game. Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker powered the Seahawks' offense with a massive three-touchdown performance, and Sam Darnold did exactly what was needed in a commanding playoff win. Seattle’s “Dark Side” defense sends a bold message to the NFL as the clear Super Bowl favorite heading into the NFC Championship. Sherm also reacts to the wild Bills vs. Broncos matchup, including Josh Allen’s late-game heroics, Bo Nix’s injury, and the controversial overtime call that ended Buffalo’s season.

| 1:30.6 | They didn't hit on the pass, but they targeted them. |
