SEAHAWKS (10-5-1)
How they get to Atlanta: If they beat the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, they will face the Falcons in Atlanta next Saturday.
How they finished: In their final six games, Seattle did not always look like the contender people are used to. They went 3-3 down the stretch, including a week 16 loss at home to the Cardinals that let control of a first round bye slip away. That also includes a five point outing in Tampa Bay and a hard fought 25-23 win to close out the season against a 49ers team that had lost 14 straight coming into that game.
