Sherman expected blowout win, blames loss on bad calls | ProFootballTalk
“We didn’t project it to be this way,” Sherman said, via quotes distributed by the 49ers. “We expected to blow them out but they got the benefit of a few calls tonight throughout the game and that helps you especially on third down, we will see them again and it will be a different result.”

Defending their NFC West crown on their home turf apparently meant as much to the 49ers as enhancing their playoff hopes. By nightfall Sunday, the 49ers still hadn't been dethroned just yet as the reigning division champions, knocking off the first-place Seattle Seahawks 19-17 at Candlestick Park. "It's a statement to the world this is still our division, and until Seattle takes it from us, we'll continue to represent it," linebacker NaVorro Bowman said.

Seattle's second loss of the season wasn't decided by a field goal. The 49ers' 22-yard chip shot of a kick may have accounted for the final margin of the Seahawks' 19-17 loss, but it wasn't the difference in this game.

Quick reaction: Seahawks fall to San Francisco 19-17 | Seahawks Blog | Seattle Times
What happened: The Seahawks defense, the unit that has been so steady this season, gave up a lead in the final minutes. That’s not an entirely fair way to canvass Seattle’s 19-17 loss at San Francisco on Sunday, but it is, in the end, what happened. The Seahawks offense couldn’t get much going in the second half — they only scored after a big punt return from Golden Tate gave them the ball in San Francisco territory — but they did enough to give Seattle a 17-16 lead with 6:20 left in the game. Frank Gore’s 51-yard run put San Francisco inside the red zone, and Colin Kaepernick picked up eight yards on 3rd-and-8 to keep the drive alive. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for the Seahawks.

NFL - Despite loss, Seattle Seahawks are still NFC's best - ESPN
The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers played a very physical football game Sunday in San Francisco, with 49ers prevailing 19-17. It was a heavyweight battle between two of the league's best teams in what I believe to be the best rivalry in the NFL right now. The win keeps San Francisco in the driver's seat for a wild-card berth in the NFC, even with the Cardinals handling the Rams with ease in Arizona on Sunday.

Penalties have been the norm for the Seahawks, a tradeoff of the unrelentlingly physical style with which Seattle plays. They were something else on Sunday.

Seahawks just miss clinching NFC West
Seahawks took late lead, only to relinquish it in a 19-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park on Sunday that prevented them from clinching the NFC West title.

Seahawks fall just short in first shot to win NFC West
Just after the Seahawks took a one-point lead in the fourth quarter, Frank Gore broke a 51-yard run to setup the 49ers’ game-winning field goal in a 19-17 decision at Candlestick Park.

Penalties, two big red zone sequences and one run decided this game. In the first half the Seahawks consistently extended 49er drives with a series of holding or P.I. calls. From what I saw, all were called fairly. In the second half it was something much more avoidable.
