Seahawks Advance to Divisional Round After Knocking Off Carson Wentz-less Eagles

Earlier this season, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that whenever Seattle has Russell Wilson on the field, the team has a chance to win, "no matter what's going on."

And as it turned out in Seattle's 17-9 Wild-Card weekend win over the Eagles on Sunday, Wilson was the game's only starting quarterback that gave his team a legitimate chance to prevail. Philadelphia starter Carson Wentz entered the contest looking to star in his postseason debut, but after suffering a head injury with just 6:59 to go in the first quarter, the former No. 2 pick in the 2016 NFL draft was knocked out of the game entirely.
