NFL WILD-CARD ROUND: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS. MINNESOTA VIKINGS
January 10, 2016  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 1:00 p.m. ET

 

Yesterday, the AFC wild-card games were a study in contrasts. The Kansas City Chiefs-Houston Texans game was a blowout, with the Chiefs winning 30-0. The second game had the Pittsburgh Steelers dominating the Cincinnati Bengals in the first half, the Bengals coming back to take the lead in the final minute, and the Steelers to end up with the win, thanks to unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that put the Steelers within field goal range. The Chiefs won the first game with good plays, while the Bengals lost the second game with poor sportsmanship. How to characterize, in advance, today’s first game, with the Seattle Seahawks facing the Minnesota Vikings at Minnesota? Cold, that’s how. As in, feeling like 20 below zero playing conditions.
