The Seattle Seahawks were the beneficiaries of a missed field goal by Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh that will send them to Charlotte next week to face the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Divisional Round. One has to feel for Walsh who was the Vikings' only offense all afternoon long.

There aren't too many quarterbacks who could make this play. Russell Wilson had to run 10-15 yards to recover the ball, then escape pressure and find a wide-open Tyler Lockett for the biggest play of the game. If the Seahawks win, this will be the turning point.

The Seattle Seahawks' offense has been dominated all afternoon by the Minnesota Vikings' defense, but Doug Baldwin gave them a glimmer of hope with this insane one-handed snag. It's one of the lone offensive highlights from a game dominated by defense.
As the Seattle Seahawks look ahead to the postseason, it may be rookie Tyler Lockett who is one of the major X-factors in Seattle’s success.
The Seattle Seahawks are back in the playoffs, and here are five reasons why they could potentially win it all once again.
The Seattle Seahawks open their postseason with a trip to Minnesota, and may see some big names returning to the field.
The Seattle Seahawks have improved in defending tight ends this season, but they will likely face some tough matchups throughout their playoff run.
The Seattle Seahawks may be just a sixth-seed contender in the NFC, but they're a team that should scare the rest of the field more than anyone.
Russell Wilson has led the Seattle Seahawks to their fourth-straight playoff appearance and has been putting up staggering numbers. He has worked his way into the MVP conversation.
