Seahawks Win Over Saints Was No Fluke

Last weekend, the Seattle Seahawks, double-digit undogs, eliminated the New Orleans Saints from the NFL playoffs. Jeff Duncan, of the Times-Picayune, says the upset win was no fluke, below.

Seattle's 41-36 victory against the New Orleans Saints has been called one of the biggest upsets in NFL playoff history.

As 11-point favorites, the Saints were favored to beat the Seahawks by the largest margin in league history. Despite a serious string of major injuries, no one expected a 7-9 Seattle outfit to turn the tables on a team that had beaten them 34-19 just seven weeks earlier.
