"A lot of parallels between the Super Bowl-winning Seahawks team that John Schneider built in 2013 and this 2025 edition. Here's one more: Tonight's 35-point win over the 49ers is Seattle's biggest playoff blowout since … their 35-point win over the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII," Pelissero posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.
Walker hit a separate franchise mark too, per ESPN Insights.
The Seahawks' X account became more relentless, though, by trolling the Niners.
But the same account also posted a more serious tweet — one that took a page from the late Kobe Bryant with a "job's not done" message.

Even Seattle superfan actor Chris Pratt managed to catch the game all the way from Mexico City — and loved the result.
Fellow Seahawks superfan Jeffrey Dean Morgan raved about the obliteration of the Niners.
"Absolute domination. This team has earned all the love they will get after tonight. Earned it all damn year. WE KNEW IT. Now everyone does. And goddamn, how I love beating the living snot out of Niners and their fansbase!! A beautiful evening! GOHAWKS!!! Onward!" the actor shared .
Mike Macdonald joins Chuck Knox, Mike Holmgren and Pete Carroll as Seahawk coaches who led the team to a conference title game appearance. Sam Darnold makes his first one too after throwing 12-of-17 for 124 yards. Walker rumbled to 116 yards and the trio of touchdowns. Seattle's defense forced three takeaways ( Julian Love and Nick Emmanwori pounced on fumbles) and sacked Brock Purdy twice.
