NFL Super Wild Card Weekend is in full swing!<\/p>\n

Currently, the AFC has taken center stage, as the 5-seed Los Angeles Chargers battle the 4-seed Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n

Trevor <\/u>Lawrence<\/u>‘s Jags (9-8) and Justin Herbert<\/u>‘s Chargers (10-7) face off in the first playoff game between these teams. It also marks the NFL playoff debut of two of the league’s youngest quarterbacks. Heading into Saturday’s game, Jacksonville is 3-1 in home playoff games, while the Bolts are 3-0 all time against AFC South teams in the postseason.<\/p>\n

Earlier on FOX, rookie third-string quarterback Brock Purdy<\/u> and the San Francisco 49ers cruised to an impressive 41-23 win over Geno Smith<\/u> and the Seattle Seahawks to advance to the divisional round.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are now 6-2 in the wild-card round in the Super Bowl era and 4-0 since 2002. They have now won 26 consecutive playoff games when having a lead of 10 points or more.<\/p>\n

Here are the top plays!<\/p>\n

Misfortune struck the Jaguars once again on their second possession, as Lawrence threw his second pick of the first quarter. Heading into Saturday, Jacksonville is 2-12 in Lawrence’s NFL career when he throws an interception.<\/p>\n

Setting the tone<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the Seahawks went three-and-out on their opening possession, the Niners charged downfield with ease on their first drive, which ended with a field goal and an early 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Finding a rhythm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, Seattle went three-and-out on its following possession. <\/p>\n

Then, San Francisco extended its lead to 10-0 after going 85 yards in five plays. Christian McCaffrey<\/u> started the drive with a monster 68-yard rush, capping it off by reeling in a short touchdown pass from Purdy.<\/p>\n

on the hunt<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Seahawks closed the gap early in the second quarter, 10-7, thanks to a 7-yard score from Kenneth Walker.<\/p>\n

New leader!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seattle took a 14-13 lead on the following drive, courtesy of a jaw-dropping 50-yard score from DK Metcalf.<\/p>\n

Both teams traded field goals before the break to keep it a one-point game, 17-16.<\/p>\n

star power<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purdy punched in a 1-yard score midway through the third quarter to put the Niners back on top, 23-17.<\/p>\n

Sealing the deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Niners continued to pour it on as the fourth quarter got underway.<\/p>\n

After a costly Seahawks fumble, Elijah Mitchell came up with a 7-yard score on the ensuing drive, followed up by a smooth two-point conversion from star tight end George Kittle<\/u> to put the home team up 31-17.<\/p>\n

Dropping dimes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Niners came up with their third touchdown on three consecutive possessions, thanks to the quick feet of Deebo Samuel<\/u>. Just like that, Purdy & Co. took a 38-17 lead early in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Too little, too late<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smith connected with Metcalf for a quick score late in the final frame to close the gap slightly, but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback, and things ended there, 41-23, after a failed two-point conversion.<\/p>\n
