"I know the answer everybody's looking for, but that's really not the way I'm looking at it," said Brown, whose potential game-winning field goal hit the left upright as regulation time expired in the Redskins' 20-17 overtime win at FedEx Field on Oct. 2. "I'm just glad we're in the playoffs. It's not something I'm going to dwell on or think about. It's irrelevant at this point."
Big Game at Last
Saturday's game will mark the first time in more than a month the Seahawks have played a meaningful game for both teams.
Seattle had a bye during the opening week of the playoffs, and the Seahawks rested many of their starters for their regular season finale against Green Bay on Jan. 1 because it meant nothing to their playoff seeding.
Seattle needed a win over Indianapolis on Christmas Eve to clinch home-field advantage, but that game was meaningless to the Colts, who did not bring wide receiver Marvin Harrison to the game and used quarterback Peyton Manning for two series.
Special Season
Regardless of what happens in the postseason, the 2005 Seahawks have made quite a case for being the best team in franchise history.
Seattle set team records for wins (13), total yards (5,915), rushing yards (2,457), first downs (361), fewest rushing yards allowed (1,550) and fewest turnovers (17). In addition, the Seahawks' 11-game winning streak that ended with a loss to the Packers on Jan. 1 was the longest in franchise history.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's 98.2 passer rating is the highest in franchise history and led the NFC this season.
