5 Keys to Victory for the Seahawks vs. the Atlanta Falcons …
And then there was one. The NFL Wild Card Weekend opened this past Saturday with an unprecedented 3 Rookie QB’s starting for their respective teams. Andrew Luck (the 1st Overall Pick of the 2012 NFL Draft) … Robert Griffin III (the 2nd Overall Pick) … and an unheralded too short rookie QB taken in the 3rd Round by the name of Russell Wilson each entered Wild Card Weekend … but only Wilson came safety through the other side. Though it wasn’t a dominant performance by any means, Wilson and the Hawks in the end made enough plays to advance to the next round, in the process ending a 29 year drought, as December 31, 1983 was the last time the Seahawks had won a road playoff game prior to this last Sunday. They did it in grand fashion too, coming back from a 14-0 deficit – which was not only the largest playoff comeback in Seahawks history … but also the largest playoff comeback EVER by an NFL Rookie Quarterback. Wilson continues to astound experts and to win fans. No rookie is supposed to be as cool as the other side of the pillow like Wilson has been – to be experiencing the NFL’s bombs and mortars going off around him … and to treat it all as if he were at a beach in Tahiti sipping a Mai Tai. As a reward for knocking off RGIII and the Redskins, the Seahawks (as the #5 Seed) get the privilege this next weekend of flying to Atlanta of deploying their talons against the NFL’s #1 seeded Falcons. It’s an aerial showdown against two of the NFL’s top birds of prey. Will the Seahawks swoop in and steal a victory … or will they ultimately get pecked to death? Here are 5 Keys to Victory the Seahawks will have to succeed in IF they are to knock off the NFC’s #1 Team this weekend …

Unlike last week’s opponent, the Atlanta Falcons are an offense that flies a majority of the time …
With that in mind, let’s take a look at Atlanta’s high-powered passing attack and how the Seahawks pass defense matches up …
