Packers are heading to NFC title game after defeating Seahawks

A 28-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks means the Green Bay Packers are on their way to the NFC Championship Game.

It felt all too familiar as the Seahawks fought back from an 18-point deficit at halftime, but this story had a different outcome than five years ago. As this Packers team has done all season long, they made the important plays when they needed them most.

With under five minutes remaining, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks had possession and an opportunity to put together a game-winning drive. Preston Smith had other ideas, making his most important play of the year with a sack on third down to force a punt.
