Russell Wilson’s three TDs means no feathers out of place for Seakhawks

It was far from vintage but Seattle won’t care as they brushed past the Carolina Panther’s tonight in their play-off game by 31-17.

The Superbowl champions never had to work to defend their crown and were never behind at any stage as they led 14-10 at the end of the second quarter.

Russel Wilson was in super form and managed to pick out Jermaine Kearse for one of his TD passes of the night

Here’s a close up of his catch

The night went from bad to worse towards the end of the fourth for the Panthers with an intercept touchdown by Kim Chancellor from Cam Newton putting them 31-10 up on the night

Chancellor was involved in one of the most amazing pieces of action of the night-going al Skippy as he kangerooed to almost block a field-attempt

They will now take on Green Bay or Dallas next Sunday at home.
