The Seattle Seahawks (No. 5 seed) will travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles (No. 4 seed) in the wild-card round this Sunday. The Seahawks last squared off against the Eagles in November and earned one of their seven road wins this season – a franchise record.
Philadelphia finished the year with just a 9-7 record, which was good enough to win the NFC East. But coach Pete Carroll isn’t looking past the Eagles and what they were able to do to take the division.
“Incredible job of regrouping and getting their season in order to win a championship,” Carroll said Wednesday. “They had to stretch it throughout their division. They had four straight games in their division, and they had to win them all. They did. I think that shows the direction of the program from the head coach and then all throughout the leadership of the team.
“They’ve got some good experience guys and they pulled it together and did a great job.”
