Winning on the road is never an easy task, and it’s no coincidence that all three trips to the Super Bowl for the Seattle Seahawks involved home field advantage throughout the postseason. The Seahawks failed to get either the #1 or #2 seed this season, and the end result was a 36-20 trouncing on the road against the Atlanta Falcons in Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round.
Seattle is a team that has managed a sustained run of success over the past several years by being a defensive-oriented team in a league that is driven by offense.
