In Week 1, the Seattle Seahawks controlled the Green Bay Packers with a 36-16 victory. The Pack have improved a lot since then, but so have the Seahawks. Here are five reasons why Sunday's NFC Championship game will look very similar to their Week 1 meeting.

One of Green Bay's strengths is their aggressive defense that led the NFL in turnover margin. Unfortunately for them, Wilson isn't exactly known for crumbling under pressure. Of the quarterbacks who started all 16 games, only Aaron Rodgers (five) had fewer interceptions than Wilson (seven), and none of those were against the Packers.

The matchup everyone is curious about is the potent Packers' offense vs. the red-hot Seahawks' defense. Green Bay may have one of the best offenses in the NFL, but Seattle has the league's best defense by far. During the Seahawks' current winning streak, the defense has allowed just eight points per game. The Packers' offense had the best PPG this season (30.4), but they were sixth in total yards and only gained 166 yards more than Seattle.

The Packers' only chance at winning this game that doesn't include several miracles or a Seahawk implosion is if Rodgers dominates. Taking over the game hobbled against a defense this good seems highly unlikely.
