49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught a third-and-7 pass short of the sticks early in the third quarter of Saturday’s wild card win over the Seahawks. He turned upfield and went for 22 yards and a first down that put San Francisco in the red zone when they trailed Seattle 17-16. After the play, Seahawks safety Johnathan Abram tugged and twisted Samuel’s ankle in what became a turning point in Saturday’s game.<\/p>\n

Samuel stayed on the ground after the play and eventually walked off the field under his own power, but not before a scuffle broke out in the middle of the field after the 49ers took exception to what they perceived to be a dirty play.<\/p>\n

San Francisco slammed on the gas pedal the rest of the way and outscored Seattle 25-6 in the second half to cruise to a 41-23 victory. Head coach Kyle Shanahan after the game confirmed the Abrams play locked his team in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was worried that he was hurt on it,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cI lost my mind a little bit on that, but yeah I was real concerned that he was hurt on it and I didn’t like how that looked. I thought it looked pretty bad, and the intent of the play. So I think that (expletive) a lot of people off. I think it (expletive) our team off, and I think you could kind of feel our team react to that after. I wish we were like that from the first play always, but sometimes when some stuff motivates the guys, I think it’s cool to see us rally together. I know Deebo was bothered and it’s cool he came back and answered.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers on both sides of the ball dominated the second half after that play, and Samuel provided the exclamation point. His 74-yard touchdown catch gave him 133 receiving yards on six catches, and put San Francisco ahead 38-17 with 11:04 left in the game.<\/p>\n

If they can find that same energy for the entirety of the playoffs, it may not matter who they play, because they turned into a buzzsaw.<\/p>\n
