60. Final. 9. 36. 16

Seattle may come into the playoffs with everyone riding their most recent wave of momentum.

Which, if you didn’t know, includes a big win on the road against the Vikings just over a month ago.

But after being thrown into the spotlight against the Packers with the division title on the line, Teddy Bridgewater proved he can do just enough to get things done if he puts his mind to it.

The Seahawks have proven to be just as tough mentally to fight against as they are physically.

Their defense, better known as the “Legion of Boom”, has stepped up in many ways that makes them Cinderellas from the NFC West all their own.

The Vikings, however, appear ready to set things right — and now that they’ve got their solution at quarterback figured out and an NFC North crown to back that up, don’t expect them to play this game as soft as before.
