With the offseason underway, we bring back our weekly looks at the other teams in the NFC West. What has been up with the Seattle Seahawks, who play the Green Bay Packers Sunday afternoon in the divisional round of the playoffs?
Here are some stories for Arizona Cardinals fans to know from the last week.
Seattle hasn’t won in Green Bay for a long time
The Seahawks were great on the road this season and have been very good for several seasons. Arizona Cardinals fans know this, as the Cardinals have not beaten Seattle at home since 2012. However, Seattle has struggled in Green Bay.
The Seahawks, who play the Packers at Lambeau Field Sunday afternoon, haven’t won there since 1999. Quarterback Russell Wilson has never won there in his career.
Seahawks-Eagles was huge on TV
Seattle’s 17-9 win over the Philadelphia Eagles was the game in the Sunday prime-time slot, which generally draws the biggest audience.
It did.
In fact, it had the most viewers of any television event of any sort since Super Bowl LIII.
Seattle’s injury situation leading up to playoff game
The Seahawks are not healthy as they move on in the playoffs. They could get left tackle Duane Brown back, though. Linebacker Mychal Kendricks was placed on injured reserve.
Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney isn’t 100% but will play.
Russell Wilson is VERY detailed in his preparation
Wilson has had a ton of success in the NFL. That clearly means he is very good in his preparation.
Who knew it was this extreme?
He gives his offensive teammates 15-page scouting reports on their opponents and quizzes his teammates on the information.
