NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round Scores

“There’s a high percentage that they make them, but you’ve still got to do it”.

“I’ll be working hard to erase that from my career, but it will take a while”.

Walsh took ownership of the missed kick, saying that the snap by long snapper Kevin McDermott and the hold by punter Jeff Locke were fine. The temperature at TFC Bank Stadium was -6 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -25. But Finkle always maintained quarterback and holder Dan Marino was at fault because he couldn’t get the laces out. Only he knows for sure.

Washington got its first safety in a playoff game since December 30, 1984, on Sunday when rookie Preston Smith sacked Aaron Rodgers in the end zone with 10:27 remaining in the first quarter.

“A lot of people would’ve folded up and said, ‘That’s it, ‘ but we’ve got a team full of fighters”, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said.

Seattle’s win was just one of the insane moments of wild card weekend.

Walsh felt the same way and broke into tears minutes later in the Vikings’ locker room after completing an interview session with reporters.

“The hold was fine”, he told Stacy Dales of the NFL Network. I went out to warm up before everybody came out and took a jog. He didn’t seem to have much left when he was last on the field for Seattle and they have seemed to do fine without him, despite the injury to Thomas Rawls.

“We just needed a game like this to get our mojo back, to get our confidence going”, said Rodgers.

“The last field goal, being an inch away from the first down, that haunts me”.

After trading punts, the Vikings moved the ball down to the 10-yard of the Seahawks to set up one of the most unbelievable endings in team history.

Just Russell Wilson doing Russell Wilson things. The defense, focused on the loose ball, completely lost their focus, charging toward the backfield. “You can’t do that”. With Seattle’s offensive line banged-up and no Marshawn Lynch in the running game, it was up to Wilson and his wide outs to make things happen on offense.

Here’s a look at some of the comments from the Vikings’ head coach and players after the loss that ended their season. Two plays later, Wilson did Doug Baldwin for a touchdown, narrowing the gap to 9-7.

Quartrback Teddy Bridgewater agreed about the hurt.

The cold weather made the passing game difficult, largely because the heavier, harder ball didn’t travel like it usually does.

In the first three quarters, the Seahawks were the clumsy ones, with miscues, turnovers and penalties helping the Vikings claw their way to that 9-0 lead.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (10-6): Quarterback Russell Wilson has been brilliant during Seattle’s 6-1 run with 24 touchdown passes and only one interception, and he burned the Vikings by throwing for 274 yards and three scores while rushing for 51 yards.
