GREEN BAY — The couple inches the Seahawks didn’t get against the 49ers that turned into thousands of extra miles they had to travel in the playoffs ultimately might’ve resulted in a road just a little too hard to navigate Sunday against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Down 18 points to Green Bay at halftime, and again midway through the third quarter, the high-wire act that has been the Seahawks all season tried to pull off their most outrageous stunt yet, one that would have taken them all the way to Santa Clara for yet another game against the 49ers and a shot at the Super Bowl.
