Seahawks defense and offense clutch around the red zone

Packers had 8 possessions inside the Seahawks 35 yard line, 1 TD out of 8 possessions.

Seahawks had 5 possessions inside the Packers 35 yard line, 4 TDs out of 5 possessions.

Seahawks made the most out of their possessions deep in Packers territory, Packers stalled many times with chances to put away the game.

But I heard Erin Rodgers say they were the better team and should have won it. I guess they should have played 60 minutes of football and converted FGs into TDs.

The Seahawks Defense tonight was very impressive when you consider ...

that Aaron Rodgers averages 274 yards passing ... completes 65.6% of his passes ...sports a 112.2 QB Rating ... and threw a grand total of just 5 Interceptions on the season AND ...

that the Seahawks Defense held him to just 178 passing ... a 55.9% pass completion rating ... a 55.8 QB Rating ... and picked him off not just once, but TWICE.

that they allowed Rodgers to pass for 80 yards in the 1st Quarter ... and held him to just 98 yards passing after that.

that they gave up 16 points in the 1st Half ... and just 6 points in the 2nd Half when it really mattered.

that against any other defense, those two drives of the Packers in the 1st Quarter that got stuffed at the 1 yard line ... would have been TD's (not FG's) -- and this team would have lost.

that Green Bay's Offense was the #1 Scoring Offense in the NFL this season (30.4 Pts/Game average) ... and Football Outsiders had them as the #1 DVOA Offense in the NFL (26.7% -- which is identical to that of the Broncos Offense last season, by the way)

Clutch indeed when you consider all of that.
