They aren’t going to get the help from the 12th Man that they’ve been able to get the past two season’s in the NFC’s vicious playoffs.
They’ll end up playing either the Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, or Green Bay Packers — all of that stems from the Sunday night showdown for the NFC North.
All we know is that the Seahawks found a way to will themselves back into contention.
Russell Wilson has been on fire lately, but he’ll have to get rid of playoff demons from a year ago to stay hot.

Even if Seattle did clash with the Redskins, it wouldn’t be a game that anyone could write off.
Yeah, it’s the Redskins, but Kirk Cousins has continued to show us all that he’s ready to take the challenge of running Washington from the ground up — and he’s not ready to fade out of the picture just yet.
Should they play Minnesota or Green Bay, it’ll be the one time the Seahawks will have a clear cut advantage.
Seattle destroyed the Vikings in Minnesota this season and have had Green Bay’s number since last year’s NFC title game — and with how the Packers have slipped up lately, it’s not fair to think they’d have a chance against the Seahawks.
