This weekend’s game marks the second consecutive year the two teams have met in the Divisional round.
“As much as I’d love to share our fine southern cuisine with our cross country colleagues, they will have to settle for eating crow after we beat the ‘Hawks,” said Roberts. “Coach Rivera has the team prepared to defeat anyone standing in their path to the Super Bowl. Pete Carroll will be sleepless in Charlotte trying to develop a game plan to stop Cam Newton.”

“I’m looking forward to celebrating another Seahawk playoff win, with another package of prizes, from yet another mayor of Charlotte,” said Murray. “We have never lost to the Panthers in the playoffs and I know Coach Carroll has the team ready for this road playoff game. Last week’s game is proof that the Seahawks can beat any opponent, in all weather conditions, in any stadium.”
