Will the return of Percy Harvin be the game’s ultimate x-factor?

Percy Harvin has barely been on the field in his first season in Seattle after being acquired in a trade from the Minnesota Vikings as he battled back from hip surgery only to suffer a concussion vs. the Saints in the divisional round.

However, the electrifying return man and receiver is cleared to return and could be the x-factor for the Seattle passing offense that has lacked a big-play element for much of the season. The addition of Harvin will force the Broncos defense to play honest and could give opportunities for man-to-man coverage for Golden Tate and unsung hero Doug Baldwin.
