Before the Texans face the Patriots in Foxborough later tonight, you are invited to enjoy this first playoff game of the weekend. It’s a rematch between two NFC teams who faced off in a shootout in Week 6 of the NFL regular season.
Their October matchup, a 26-24 Seahawks victory in Seattle, produced a fantastic amount of offense -- nearly 700 total yards between both teams -- and some excellent defense, with neither unit allowing better than a 36 percent third-down conversion rate. Julio Jones posted 139 receiving yards, Matt Ryan passed for 335 yards and Jimmy Graham paced Seattle's offense with nearly 100 yards of his own.
