NFC Championship: Seahawks Rooting for Rival Niners or Eagles?

Now formally of their offseason, the Seattle Seahawks must sit again and watch because the playoffs proceed on Sunday with the beginning of the NFC and AFC Championships.

However with the Seahawks’ draft order already set, there’s not a lot of a purpose for them to choose and select who to cheer for with a visit to the Tremendous Bowl on the road. Nonetheless, sadly for Seattle and its followers, cheering for a San Francisco Niners victory over the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFC crown is perhaps the perfect guess so far as ethical victories are involved.

The Seahawks had been after all swept by the 49ers in three conferences this season with the ultimate loss coming in a 41-23 defeat within the NFC Wild Card. However ought to the Niners take down the Eagles on the street, the Seahawks can say that they had the NFC champs on the ropes within the playoffs.

Seattle entered halftime of that Wild Card matchup with a 17-16 lead regardless of falling behind 10-0 early. However the wheels got here off for the Seahawks within the third quarter and the Niners by no means seemed again.

With all that being mentioned, there’s additionally seemingly a big majority of the twelfth Man that cares little for these ethical victories and would slightly see the rival Niners come up wanting one other Tremendous Bowl. A loss would preserve San Francisco’s Tremendous Bowl drought going, because the Niners have not gained all of it since 1994 regardless of their adorned historical past.

All of it is determined by what your finish purpose is, however it appears that evidently most Seahawks followers would sleep higher at evening with a 49ers loss.
