Seahawks, Texans advance in playoffs
Print Edition
RUSSELL Wilson tossed two touchdown passes to power Seattle over Detroit 26-6 while Brock Osweiler threw for one TD and ran for another as Houston beat Oakland 27-14 in Saturday’s National Football League playoff openers.
The Seahawks stretched their playoff win streak in Seattle to 10 games, third-best in NFL history, and booked a second-round National Conference matchup next Saturday against the Falcons in Atlanta.
“We’re expecting a fight,” said Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner. “They are rested. They are going to be hungry. But we’re hungry too. We’re going to come out and give them everything we’ve got.”
The Lions suffered their NFL-record ninth consecutive playoff defeat. Detroit has not won a playoff game in 25 seasons and has not won a road playoff game or an NFL title since 1957.
Houston advanced to a second-round American Conference matchup next weekend at either the New England Patriots or the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Overall, it was probably our best game of the year,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said. “I’m really proud of these players.”
Houston’s fate depends upon the outcome of yesterday’s Pittsburgh Steelers vs Miami Dolphins playoff game.
“I don’t care who we play. We are going to play at a high level,” Texans defensive star Jadeveon Clowney said. “We are just going to keep fighting.”
The Green Bay Packers, entering the playoffs on a six-game win streak, was hosting the New York Giants in the last wildcard playoff game, with the winner to visit the Dallas Cowboys in the second round.
