On the latest episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to the San Francisco 49ers' 41-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Postseason.

(1:57) After a relatively disappointing first half, Brock Purdy and the 49ers dominated in the second half, scoring 25 unanswered points at one point en route to a comfortable victory. Just how good was Purdy in the second half of his postseason debut? The guys try to puts his performance in context. Plus, how important was Kyle Shanahan's decision to run the ball more in the second half?

(17:25) Deebo Samuel's presence had a big impact, specifically in the second half. One of the turning points in the game was when Seattle defensive back Jonathan Abram twisted Samuel's leg after a key third down pick up. How did that change the game? Plus, Charles Omenihu and Nick Bosa combined for a huge turnover late in the third quarter, which helped San Francisco take a two-score lead. How important is the turnover battle for the 49ers?

(37:24) To close the episode, Evan and Marc recap Wild Ward weekend (through the Minnesota-New York game at the time of recording) and discuss the updated path to the NFC Championship game for the 49ers. Did the Giants win make the path more difficult for San Francisco? Might the Giants give the Eagles a difficult test next weekend? Also, who would you rather the 49ers play next weekend: Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys or Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
