One of the early stories on the day in Seattle for the NFC Division Round game wasn’t the teams or the fighting that was going on, rather it was the stereotypical Seattle weather rearing it’s head. A stereotype of Seattle is that it always rains all the time, and the national audience tuning in for the pregame show on FOX got glimpses of a monsoon rocking CenturyLink Field in Seattle.

It wasn’t an actual monsoon, but the rain was relentless and fans who showed up early had to fend for themselves she it came to finding ways to stay dry. The players just warmed up through the rain, but the weather proved it was going to be a factor early as the Seattle rain made an appearance on the Seahawks big day.
