Packers: Five things they must do to defeat Seahawks

The Packers and Seahawks are set for another playoff classic.

Here is what the Packers have to do if they expect to advance to the NFC Championship:

Metcalf is coming off a huge performance against the Eagles in the wild-card round, and given King’s inconsistent play, Seattle will undoubtedly match their big receiver up with him early and often. But if the Packers can limit their opponent’s ground game on first down, they will force Seattle’s hand.
