Flying Low: The Playoff Run


Birds have hollow bones which enables them to soar through the air without crashing to the ground. With the help of the 12th Man, the Seattle Seahawks (8-5) soared while the Arizona Cardinals (4-9) crashed, burned and washed away, 58-0, into the Pacific Ocean in the form of ashes.
12:00 1st quarter:
Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner intercepts Cardinals quarterback John Skelton's plans for a completion.
11:25 2nd quarter:
Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons sacked Skelton, forced him to fumble and recovered.
10:12 2nd quarter:
Seahawks corner back Richard Sherman picked off Cardinals quarterback John Skelton and returned it for a 19-yard touchdown.
2:33 2nd quarter:
Richard Sherman records his second interception of the game on a third down play near midfield.

At halftime, Arizona found themselves down 38-0 with their feathers starting to feel uncomfortably warm.
10:19 3rd quarter:
Bobby Wagner intercepted Skelton inside the Cards' own twenty-yard line. Skelton was yanked from the pillage and rookie Ryan Lindley was inserted.
4:49 3rd quarter:
Lindley fumbled while being sacked and Richard Sherman recovered. Has anyone lost count?

In a nest egg, some birds were only meant to fly and not attempt to play quarterback in the NFL. For Seattle, it's off to Toronto to face Buffalo (5-8). For Arizona, it is simply off.
Good luck, for anything can (and will) happen in the playoffs.
