The Seahawks remain one of the toughest teams in the NFL to beat at home. They beat the Saints 23-15 in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
Seattle now awaits the winner of tomorrow's matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers. The Seahawks have won 16 of their last 17 games at home.
