NFL Power Rankings: Playoff blues reign following Week 17

36. <p>“It seems like a few weeks ago that people were questioning whether or not the two-time defending NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks would even make the postseason. They didn’t look like their dominant selves, and really, it was actually sort of plausible to ask the question and doubt them.</p> <p>Yeah, well, they proved a lot of people wrong. Following their win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, they finish their regular season at 10-6 and this team is indeed headed off to the playoffs where they will seek a third consecutive NFC title.</p> <p>This team really put it all together down the stretch which, again, is something we all should have seen coming. This group is experienced and they’re used to getting the job done at this point, so it was only a matter of time before Russell Wilson, that ferocious defense and Co. started to get things back on the right track. Now, the rest of the NFC has to be mighty worried because the champs are in the mix and they know what it takes to get out of this side unscathed.</p> <p>With the way this team is motoring their way into the playoffs, it really would not surprise anyone if they make a third trip to the Super Bowl this coming February.</p>.
