Two weeks ago, the Seattle Seahawks needed to win out from a 7-8 position, and also get losses by the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers. Anything short of that and there would be no playoffs. Everything fell into place under dramatic circumstances, and the Seahawks are sensationally in the postseason once again.
Their reward? A third showdown with the San Francisco 49ers, who’ve beaten Seattle both times in the regular season and never even trailed on either occasion. Seattle is a heavy underdog and it will take a monumental effort to topple a team that has won 10 straight.
