Given that the Seahawks won nine-straight home playoff games since 2005 (longest active streak in the NFL), they should have little to worry about when they face the Detroit Lions Saturday night at CenturyLink Field.

The Lions haven’t won a playoff game since 1991 or a postseason road game since 1957. That’s right, 1957.

To try to put that into perspective, take a look at what was going on in the world that year (courtesy of On This Day).
