Who are they? The Seattle Seahawks seem to be a mystery, even to those that cover them on a regular basis. I will try and give you a quick season recap. They were a team that relied solely on their high powered offense. A couple of years ago, when they beat the Redskins and went to the Superbowl, Shaun Alexander was the NFL MVP and Matt Hasslebeck was the ultimate field general. That has changed.

At the beginning of the season , the Seahawks had trouble with their ground game. Alexander got injured and to tell you the truth, he has never been the same since he signed that big contract. Head coach Mike Holmgren, has kept them in the game. He tapped Maurice Morris to take over the running duties and they started putting the onus on the defense. That worked. The Seahawks won 6 out of 8, down the stretch and that's where we stand.

When you watch the game tomorrow pay attention to their defense. They will try and dictate the game and get to Todd Collins with Patrick Kerney. He led the NFC with 14.5 half sacks. On the field, the teams are not equal. Many feel including myself, that the Redskins have a slight edge but here's where the difference can happen. The Seahawks are fabulous at home. Since 2005, they are 23 and 4 in that stadium. So playing at home for them has always been an advantage. Plus Mike Holmgren is a very good coach. He's won a Superbowl and been to the big game 3 times has the head man. Mike Holmgren could be a big difference.  ¶ 3:45 PM
