Seahawks and Dolphins Secure Last Play-off Spots As The Packers ... (Sportslens.com)

The Detroit Lions came out on top against the Packers on Sunday night, which meant that the Seahawks were able to secure the final playoff place in the ...

Miami will face an inspired Bills side in the playoffs and every Dolphins fan will certainly be hoping for better performances than those of late if Miami want to go all the way. Seattle will now face the 49ers in the wild card round of the playoffs, after they managed to clutch up in overtime against the Rams with a 32 yard punt from Jason Myers securing an unlikely spot in the playoffs for the Seahawks, who looked out of it coming into the final day of the regular season. It was the Seattle Seahawks who benefited from the Packers disappointing defeat, as the side secured an unlikely place in the playoffs with a last gasp OT win against the Rams on Sunday.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett Reflects on Career Journey as Seattle ... (SeahawkMaven)

Humble as always, on a day where his career crossed paths with franchise legend Steve Largent in multiple ways and the Seattle Seahawks punched a ticket to ...

"I got the opportunity to be a special teamer and I got the chance to see what I could be able to do with that. And now I'm getting a chance to be really be able to see how great I could be as a receiver." Down the line, Lockett will have more opportunities to ruminate over the stats and awards he compiled in another fantastic season. Sure enough, Lockett and his coaches as well as teammates got their cake and were able to eat it too. All I had to do was make sure I caught it and held onto it because Troy Hill made a great play just trying to be able to knock it out of my hands whenever I caught it." In the process, the star receiver made more history in a season where he has stacked numerous milestones, including breaking Largent's record with a touchdown catch in six straight games. While blessed to reach 1,000 yards once again, not surprisingly, Lockett indicated he still would have viewed this season as a great one even if he fell short of that mark. And, of course, he made sure to credit Smith and DK Metcalf for helping him get to this point in a year where he has dealt with plenty of adversity, including missing a game last month recovering from hand surgery. Eager to deflect praise to his teammates whenever he can, a humble Lockett has always preferred to downplay his individual accomplishments. Trailing 13-6 early in the third quarter, Lockett initially took at outside release towards the sideline, looking as if he was running a vertical fade route similar to the one he ran on Seattle's first play. In the case of receivers, route running truly emulates an art form with the best of the best buttering up defenders to create big play opportunities as games progress. - At the NFL level, separation between elite players and good players boils down the smallest of details.

Rams PFF grades: Best and worst performers vs. Seahawks in Week ... (Rams Wire)

Jalen Ramsey and Taylor Rapp were two of the Rams' highest-graded players in their Week 18 loss to the Seahawks.

Lake, who replaced Yeast, tied for the team-high with seven tackles and also had a sack. He only completed half of his 26 passes for 147 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. He made five tackles, picked off two passes and came up with the key stop on Kenneth Walker near the goal line to help force a field goal instead of a go-ahead touchdown. Gaines only played 18 snaps, a lesser role for the nose tackle again. He also put a big hit on Tyler Lockett along the sideline to prevent a deep completion. Shelton only gave up one pressure, the fewest of any Rams offensive lineman. In Wagner’s return to the Seahawks, he made seven tackles, four stops, hit Geno Smith once and had one tackle for a loss. Hill gave up 54 yards and a touchdown in coverage and he missed one tackle, as well. Floyd shockingly only had a 40.3 overall grade despite recording five pressures, three QB hits, one sack and a tackle for a loss. Pro Football Focus graded the Rams offense very poorly, with the top player failing to score higher than even 75.0 overall. Leonard Floyd’s grade was shockingly low, however, considering he had five pressures and a sack in the loss. Higbee caught four passes for only 33 yards and laid a key block on Tutu Atwell’s touchdown run up the left side.

I am not drawing a direct parallel between that LA team and this Seattle one, but simply pointing to the fact that many of us felt uneasy the moment we saw that match-up on paper. Just like that team, this iteration of the Seahawks has to take on a heavily favored team in the playoffs. But history is not on their side, and Seattle will need to capitalize on this with their defense that has allowed 16.8 points per game over the last four weeks. But what this doesn’t account for is the fact that the Seattle Seahawks have never lost to the 49ers in the postseason.

In fact, it feels much closer to the 2010 team that squeaked in to the postseason with a Week 17 victory over rookie 1st overall pick Sam Bradford and the St. because he is the only Seattle coach to ever face the Niners in the playoffs, and he did so exactly one time. What a perfect play on the ball.— Sports ON Tap Seattle (@SONTSeattle) In the days ahead, many fans and analysts will throw some cold water on this team by pointing out that the Niners not only beat them during the regular season, but that they did so handily on two separate occasions.

49ers vs. Seahawks odds, prediction, betting tips for NFL wild-card ... (Sporting News)

Sporting News breaks down Saturday's NFC wild-card matchup between the second-seeded 49ers and the seventh-seeded Seahawks with an against-the-spread and ...

The 49ers get the job done, notching their 11th win in a row and eighth cover in nine games. Since the 49ers' defense sports the lowest EPA/play in the league (-0.112), it's no surprise to see the total sitting at 43 points, the lowest total of super wild-card weekend. It's likely the Seahawks will have to manufacture long drives, as gaining explosive plays against the 49ers' defense is challenging. San Francisco was the only team to hold its opponents under a 30-percent clip, showcasing exactly how hard it is to consistently move the ball on them. 25.7% That's the percentage of opponents' drives that ended in scores against the 49ers' defense this season. One of those ATS losses came in their 21-13 loss to San Francisco in Week 15 (+3.5). The 49ers will also attempt to notch a season sweep over the Seahawks after winning their Week 2 matchup 27-7 and their Week 15 matchup 21-13. Saturday will be their first postseason matchup since the 2013 NFC Championship game when the Seahawks advanced to Super Bowl XLVIII in an all-time classic. Despite sweeping the regular season series this year, the 49ers had lost the past four meetings against the Seahawks, dating back to Russell Wilson's tenure. All that is in the rearview, though, and as long as you have life, anything's possible. Seattle eked into the playoff field during the final week of the regular season, notching a 19-16 overtime victory over the Rams and then securing the seventh seed following Green Bay's home loss to Detroit. Riding a 10-game win streak, the second-seeded 49ers look to secure a spot in the Divisional Round when they host the seventh-seeded Seahawks to kick off super wild-card weekend (4:30 p.m.

They are set up long-term and are in the playoffs — a borderline miracle. Still, somehow, they are postseason bound and set up for the future. Cross’ block to free up Walker for a 9-yard run on fourth-and-one late in the fourth quarter Sunday kept the Seahawks’ season alive. It’s the kind of dream that would cause a 12 to punch you if you woke them up from it. Assuming all the respondents were hooked up to a polygraph, the survey would likely have 95% saying Denver would make the postseason and Seattle would end up in the cellar. Instead you got a result in which the Seahawks (9-8) shocked the oddsmakers by earning an 18th game behind a journeyman quarterback and a slew of rookies, and where they ended up with a top-5 pick thanks to the Broncos going 5-12.
