Marshawn Lynch ran for 131 yards, and Russell Wilson completed 15-of-26 passes for 187 yards and ran eight times for 67 yards for the Seahawks, who broke an eight-game postseason losing streak away from home. A late fumble helped seal the victory for the Seahawks, as Redskins' quarterback RGIII re-injured his sprained right knee while trying to field a bad shotgun snap. The knee buckled badly, and the Seahawks recovered the fumble and kicked an insurance field goal.

Back in 1983, Seattle's Curt Warner rushed for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns in a victory at the Orange Bowl over the Dan Marino led Miami Dolphins. Similar to today's game, a late fumble helped decide the outcome, as Dolphins' return man Fulton Walker fumbled a late 4th quarter kickoff that helped seal the victory for the Seahawks.  Congrats to the Seahawks!

Matt Hasselbeck played the game of his life and the Saints' defense never quite seemed up for the challenge.  This year's Seahawks can look to the 1983 Seattle Seahawks for inspiration.  That team barely made it into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They were led by Curt Warner's almost 1,500 yards rushing and solid seasons from quarterback Dave Krieg and wide receive Steve Largent. The 1983 Seahawks made it all the way to the AFC Championship game, where their season came to an end against the Los Angeles Raiders. Can these cinderella Seahawks make it to another conference championship game...or even farther? We'll find out soon! Highlights:
