The divisional round of the 2019 NFL Playoffs closes on Sunday as the Seattle Seahawks visit the NFC North-winning Green Bay Packers in Sunday’s late game, in what will be a snowy Lambeau Field.
The Seahawks got here via a hard-fought 17-9 win in Wild Card Weekend. The Philadelphia Eagles’ top-ranked rushing defense pushed Seahawks QB Russell Wilson to pump the ball downfield more often. He provided a highlight reel for rookie DK Metcalf, connecting with him for seven receptions, 160 yards and a touchdown. The Ole Miss product set a rookie record for most receiving yards in a playoff game.
Metcalf might be in line for another active day, as Green Bay’s pass defense is merely mid-tier.
The Seahawks weren’t as successful on the ground. Wilson led Seattle with 45 rushing yards. and Travis Homer and Marshawn Lynch combined for just 19 yards on 17 carries against the Eagles’ sturdy rush defense. However, the Packers rank No. 23 against the rush, so Beast Mode may finally get loose, except that offensive linemen Mike Iupati and George Fant aren’t likely to play.
The Packers offense is incredibly balanced, though future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers (who went 353 for 569, 4,002 yards, 26 TDs, 4 INTs in 2019) hasn’t necessarily been special this season. His 62 percent completion rate during the regular season left him tied with Carolina Panthers QB Kyle Allen and Miami Dolphins signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick. It’s not exactly Rodgersian company to keep, so it will be interesting to see which version of Rodgers takes the field. However, running back Aaron Jones (with 1,084 yards and 16 TDs on 236 carries) keep defenses extremely honest.
Offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga will be of great value to Jones (and Rodgers, for that matter), if he clears concussion protocol.

How to use AirTV with Sling
AirTV solves one of Sling’s biggest problems: The inability to receive all of your local channels. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can merge those local channels into your Sling TV (or on your mobile device if you have the basic AirTV). As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “It’s practically magic.”
The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.
But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—serves to strengthen one of Sling’s biggest weaknesses compared to other live streaming services like Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. Those services have plenty of local channels.
4) AT&T TV Now

- Hulu devices: Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, iOS and Android devices

Plus, it comes with CloudDVR for up to 20 hours of TV recording per month. One account works on two devices, but you can add more devices for only $5.
5) Vidgo
- Cost: $14.99 per month (after a 7-day free trial)
- Vidgo devices: Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, iOS and Android devices

Also, through its Vidgo app, it’s offering the option of Social TV, which allows Vidgo users to connect in real-time as they’re watching programming on their phones.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers live stream: What to expect
The main stat that would give the undermanned Seahawks hope is that Green Bay ranks 24th in third-down conversions. The stat doesn’t, at all, jibe with the Packers’ record, and could eventually expose the seesaw quality of their offense against comparable or even better teams here in the playoffs. Seattle finished No. 14 in third-down defense, which seems to suggest they have at least a slight chance to keep Rodgers and Green Bay in check.
To make this happen, look for Jadaveon Clowney–who wasn’t fined for his hit on Carson Wentz that led to the quarterback’s concussion—to work to wreck the Packers’ line and live in Rodgers’ face.
Also noteworthy: Russell Wilson is winless in Lambeau in three attempts. Will the fourth time be a charm? Or will Packers magic prevail?
