An absolutely all-time tackle by the rookie.

It finally happened. The 49ers won in Seattle for the first time since 2011, and did so in a fashion that couldn’t have been more heart stopping.
San Francisco was on their way to blowing a 12 point fourth quarter lead to the Seahawks on a late-game drive conducted by Russell Wilson. It appeared as if the 49ers were going to have to wait at least another year before their Seattle demons were exorcised.
After a boneheaded delay of game that moved the ball from the 49ers’ one-yard line to their six, the defense held strong to force a fourth and goal. That’s when rookie linebacker Dre Greenlaw made the play of his life, stopping Seattle tight end Nolan Frese at the one-inch line to seal the victory.

The win clinches the NFC West title and first overall seed for the 49ers, who finish the season with a 13-3 record.
