Seahawks, Patriots to host title games

DEFENDING NFL champions the Seattle Seahawks used a slew of big plays to beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17 on Saturday night in an NFC divisional-round game.

The Seahawks will host either Green Bay or Dallas next weekend after becoming the first Super Bowl winner in nine years to win a postseason match the next season.

Russell Wilson threw three touchdown passes and Kam Chancellor returned an interception 90 yards for a touchdown. Wilson hit Doug Baldwin for a 16-yard TD, found Jermaine Kearse on a 63-yard score, and capped the night with a 25-yard TD pass to Luke Willson early in the fourth quarter.

The Patriots are making what seems like their annual trip to the AFC championship game. Tom Brady set a career record for postseason touchdown passes, leading New England back from two 14-point deficits for a 35-31 victory over Baltimore on Saturday. The Patriots will host either the Broncos or Colts next weekend for a berth in the Super Bowl.

New England is 9-0 this season at Gillette Stadium.
