Seattle Times staff reporter Bob Condotta breaks down this week’s Seahawks playoff opponent, the Minnesota Vikings.
“Playoff season is here”.
“Yeah, we have a really good football team”, said safety Morgan Burnett.
It was an uncharacteristically high-energy news conference by McCarthy’s standards, and it was clear he is trying to set the tone for his team that has struggled, especially on offense.

At the onset of the 2015 season, the Packers arguably owned the most talented roster in the NFL. In his last six games overall, three at home and three on the road, he had 14 touchdowns and one pick, with Washington winning five times. “I expected someone to go outside and get a quick out route. We’ve got to put it all together”, Rodgers said.
