Ha Ha Clinton-Dix gets 2nd pick of NFC Championship (Video)
By Phil Watson
The Seattle Seahawks trademark is creating havoc in the secondary. But the Green Bay Packers are doing that well, too. Just check out Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Strange things happen in the postseason and players can often step up and do things they’ve never done before.
Green Bay Packers rookie safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is having one of those days in the first half of the NFC Championship.
After making one interception all season, Clinton-Dix has two off Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on Sunday, with wide receiver Jermaine Kearse in the middle of both of them.
His second pick was an impressive one, a one-hander as he undercut Kearse to make the play.

Clinton-Dix’s first pick in the first quarter was a ball that deflected off Kearse’s hands (a bad spot to hit a receiver, apparently).
These two teams were among the best in the regular season at creating turnovers while avoiding them.
Green Bay tied for the NFL lead, committing just 13 turnovers. Seattle was third in that category with 14.
That led to the Packers leading the league with a plus-14 turnover differential, while the Seahawks were fourth at plus-9.
So of course it makes sense that the two teams have combined for five turnovers in the first half. Wilson has thrown two interceptions and Doug Baldwin fumbled a kickoff return for Seattle, while Aaron Rodgers has also been picked off twice for Green Bay.
