From an NFL fan standpoint,  this game turned out to be a classic.   For most of the game,  it felt like the Packers were the better team.   But it's yet another reminder why there are Special Teams Coordinators on most,  if not all teams,  instead of still calling them Special Teams Coaches.  W/o 2 differential Special Teams in the 2nd half,  the Seahawks season would be a memory at this time.    As resilient as the Seahawks have been in recent seasons,  I'm still in disbelief they ended up winning the game.    This topped their comeback win against the 49ers in last season's NFC Championship game,  which is saying something.  

 

I think Russell Wilson demonstrated why he deserves to be paid like an elite QB.   When the chips are on the table in big spots,  Wilson's track record has been tremendous.   This season,  Wilson didn't have close to what most would consider a # 1 WR.    That almost cost the Seahawks the game today based on what transpired in the first half.    But to the credit of Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse,  they made huge plays when the game was hanging in the balance.   Of course it helps to have a differential RB.   But IMO,  Wilson is the Seahawks Offensive MVP.   Stats don't even come close to telling how valuable he is for that team.
