Trevor Lawrence saw his first NFL playoff action on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Seahawks’ season came to an end on Saturday with their loss to the 49ers in the wild-card round of the playoffs. After the game, quarterback Geno Smith made a bold statement when at the lectern before he’s set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
“I wanna finish my career in Seattle,” Smith said after the 41–23 loss. “I wanna be here. The town, the city, the team, coach Carroll, the organization, they all embraced me. I was a guy who probably could’ve been out of the league. They embraced me.

The San Francisco linebacker heaped praise on the rookie quarterback.
After trailing 14–13 at halftime, the 49ers used a strong second half paced by rookie quarterback Brock Purdy to roll over the Seahawks 41–23 to advance to the NFC Divisional round.
Purdy, who went from being selected last in the draft to starting for the 49ers at quarterback since mid-December, shook off a rocky first half to lead the offense to multiple second half touchdown drives to pull away from the Seahawks.
His play drew the praise of star linebacker Fred Warner after the game.
