Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Seahawks on offense to fear Wild Card Round
By Dan Parzych
The Philadelphia Eagles will have their hands full this weekend when taking on the Seattle Seahawks.
After winning the NFC East for the second time in three seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the Seattle Seahawks during the Wild Card Round of the playoffs on Sunday in what should be an exciting battle within the NFC.
Despite the Seahawks coming up big during the first meeting between these two teams in November, the circumstances are much different this time around, especially when it comes to the Eagles.
Football fans can say whatever they want about whether Philadelphia deserves to be in the playoffs since the division turned out to be an absolute joke, but this shouldn’t take away from the Eagles ending 2019 on one of the hottest notes possible.
By winning four must-win games in a row to finish on top of the division ahead of the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia hopes to keep the momentum going this weekend to help take down Seattle to advance to the Divisional Round.
Of course, this will obviously be easier said than done since there is a reason the Seahawks have only missed the playoffs once during the Russell Wilson era since the quarterback came into the picture back in 2012.
Not to mention, it should also be noted that Seattle was actually in the running for the No. 1 seed a few weeks ago before losing a few key games to drop to one of the Wild Card spots instead.
While the Seahawks’ defense will certainly be a key factor in whether the Eagles have what it takes to leave Philadelphia with a win, Seattle’s offense will be just as much of a concern.
Since kickoff will be here before football fans know it, here are five players on offense for the Seahawks the Eagles should fear the most in regards to the Wild Card Round.
