made the playoffs by beating the LA
Rams in overtime 19-16. At the same
time they needed the Detroit Lions
on Sunday night football beat Green
Bay Packers which they did 20-16.
Both games almost marred each other.
Both came down to close calls and
interceptions setup each win. Quantra
Diggs intercepted a pass in overtime
to setup the winning field goal for the
Seahawks. The Seahawks had a chance
to win in regulation but missed a field goal
at the end hitting the goal post.
The Detroit Lions won by an interception
setting up a touchdown down to go ahead.
The Lions had the ball at the end of regulation
time. Interesting thing happened the Packers
had offside penalty on second and one yard.
The Lions instead of accepting the penalty
declined and made a first down on a pass.
Not accepting the penalty made the clock go
down and run an extra play. Certainly never
seen that happen again.
Now the Seahawks are playing the San Francisco
49ers on Saturday afternoon in the first round.
The 49ers won both games in regular season but
the odds of beating the same team three times
is high. The 49ers will be favored and likely will
win but at least the Seahawks have a chance.
Personally I don't like division foes playing
each other in the first round but that is the rules.
Go Hawks!
