Back in January, the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles met in a Wild Card playoff game. With the Minnesota Vikings’ win at New Orleans earlier in the day, that meant that the winner of the Seattle-Philly game was guaranteed a trip to Green Bay to play the Packers in the Divisional round.
In that game, Seahawks rookie wideout D.K. Metcalf exploded, catching seven passes for 160 yards and a touchdown as Seattle won 17-9 and booked a trip to Wisconsin. On Monday Night Football this evening, the two teams will meet in a rematch of that Wild Card game and one will travel for a road date to play the Packers in a week, but that will not be dependent on the winner of this game.
