Today at 3:05 p.m. ET on Fox the NFC Championship will get underway from Seattle when the Seahawks take CenturyLink Field in front of the "12th Man," the Seahawks fans, against the Green Bay Packers in a playoff battle that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Seahawks fans can hear the game on the radio by turning their dials to 710 KIRO, while Packers fans may do the same on WTMJ 620.
The Seahawks are a whopping 7-1 at home this season, and own a blowout victory over these same Packers in Week 1 to kick off the 2014 season. Quarterback Russell Wilsonhas had no qualms about hyping up the atmosphere for today's NFC Championship clash.
"It's going to be one of those for the ages," Wilson said. "You look forward to that."
In Week 1 the Packers avoided throwing in the direction of Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, but Green Bay enters this battle a different team. Packers tight end Andrew Quarless doesn't expect MVP candidate Aaron Rodgers to purposely avoid the QB if there are opportunities to be had.
"I don't think anybody's intimidated. I mean he's a great player," Quarless said. "Their secondary is definitely a great secondary. You've got to give them their respect. But you know the whole 'Legion of Boom' -- we'll see."
When Rodgers last met these Seahawks he struggled badly, racking up just 189 yards with a one touchdown and one interception. He will enter this game at less than 100 percent-last week he looked far less mobile against the Dallas Cowboys, and incapable of much scrambling outside the pocket to buy time and throw on the run.
He still managed 316 yards and three touchdowns, however, so the Seattle defense shouldn't take his health for granted.
