Take a closer look at Deebo Samuel’s 74-yard touchdown, and you can see everything that makes the 49ers so dangerous. ConorOrr on the wild-card win over the Seahawks
during the 49ers’ 41–23 wild-card win over the Seahawks again. Pause it 1.5 seconds in, while Brock Purdy is whipping a fake toss to his right side. There are nine defensive players in plain view, six of them are barreling toward Christian McCaffrey, all at once entranced with and terrified by the proposition of his getting another touch.Pause it again, this time after three seconds.
Pause it at seven seconds, when Samuel looks around, seemingly giddy about how much room he has, enough that he can skip-hop a bit as he finds his route to the end zone. Pause it at 11 seconds when it becomes clear that no steroid in the world can be taken to help someone prevent Samuel from scoring at this point. Medina Spirit wouldn’t have caught him. Bodies fall behind him like cardboard tombstones on Halloween.Good luck trying to tackle Samuel. Here, in a space of time shorter than your average TikTok video, was the cruel, unvarnished truth about this year’s NFC playoffs: You are going to have to be perfect to beat the 49ers. Absolutely, stone-cold perfect.
The 49ers can move on a team in so many different ways. They can come off the opening kickoff wielding a hammer and bludgeoning them to pieces. Their defense can crawl its way into the backfield and strip-sack you to death. Or they could do what they did Saturday against Seattle. It can look like a real race. It can look competitive. It can look for 30 minutes like both teams belong on the same field, in the same division, in the same playoff bracket.
