Nick Bosa delivered a big-time season for the San Francisco 49ers this year. Now, he’s coming up big in the NFL Playoffs against the Seattle Seahawks.
With the 49ers clinging to a 23-17 lead, Seattle was deep in the red zone and facing a long 3rd-down play. That situation allowed Bosa and the pass rush to get after quarterback Geno Smith.
Though Bosa’s pressure did not get home for the sack, he did flush Smith up in the pocket. After a fumble was forced, it was Bosa diving back on top of the ball for a key takeaway.

The 49ers used that takeaway to go down the field and score, giving San Francisco a 31-17 lead early in the fourth quarter with a shot to advance.
