Clay Matthews downplays talk of matchup with Seattle as revenge game

The Green Bay Packers lost the 2015 NFC Championship Game to the Seattle Seahawks in heartbreaking fashion, but one team leader isn’t looking at Sunday night’s matchup as a revenge game.

According to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Matthews pointed out winning wouldn’t magically erase the disappointing memory.

Clay Matthews doesn't see Sunday being much of a "revenge game" for #Packers: "It's not as if we win this game, all is forgotten."

That’s a refreshing piece of honesty that provides a little bit of perspective.
