Under Pete Carroll, the Seahawks have always been one of the NFL’s hottest teams heading into the playoffs. They surge into the postseason, and they feed off that momentum.
But this season has been completely different. The Seahawks have lost three of their final eight games for the first time since 2011. They haven’t played well in their last four games. Two weeks ago, cornerback Richard Sherman blew up on the sideline at coach Pete Carroll over play-calling. This week, defensive linemen Frank Clark and Jarran Reed had to be separated on the sideline.
The Seahawks will play the winner of the Packers-Lions game on Sunday night.
