The NFC wild-card game saw the Seattle Seahawks take care of the Philadelphia Eagles with an impressive 17-9 victory on Sunday night.

Quarterback Russell Wilson turned back the clock with a terrific all-round performance, throwing for 325 yards and a touchdown while also carrying for 45 yards on the ground.

On the other hand, it was a nightmare evening for the Philadelphia offence who lost starting quarterback Carson Wentz to a head injury after just two series.

Although he put in a game effort, replacement Josh McCown struggled against a ferocious Seattle defence that finished the game with seven sacks.

The Seahawks head to Green Bay on Sunday to take on the Packers.
