Seahawks to square off against Packers in divisional round of playoffs

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Philadelphia Eagles 17-9 wild-card weekend to advance to the divisional round of the playoffs. Seattle will next travel to Green Bay to square off against the Packers at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is set for Sunday afternoon at 3:40 p.m. PT on Fox.

“There is a real confidence about us,” coach Pete Carroll said after the Seahawks’ victory over the Eagles. “We don’t care where we’re playing.”

Seattle has been impressive on the road this year, winning seven regular-season away games in addition to the wild-card win in Philadelphia.

The weather forecast for Green Bay next Sunday is for high 20’s to low 30’s with cloudy skies – with no snow projected (for now) on game day.

The other NFC divisional-round matchup has been set as well. After beating the Saints in New Orleans, the Vikings will head to Santa Clara to face the 49ers, the top seed in the NFC.

New Orleans and San Francisco will battle first, with the contest set for Saturday, Jan. 11 at 1:35 p.m. PT on NBC.
