Facing a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff road game since 1957, and only has one playoff win since 1970, shouldn’t be cause for concern for the Seahawks when they take on the Lions Saturday night.

The Seahawks are 7-3 in the postseason since 2012, Russell Wilson’s first year, while the Lions have won just seven postseason games all time, a startling number considering their records date back to the 1930s.

Given all that, Saturday night’s game should be nothing but a formality for the Seahawks as they begin their quest for a second Super Bowl title. But Seattle should take into consideration the play of quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has the ability to win games with his arm and can attack the Earl Thomas-less Seahawks secondary.

Stafford has only been to the postseason only twice in his career, losing both times, but has averaged 351.5 yards per game in those two trips. This season, the Lions quarterback has thrown for over 340-plus yards four times, including 347 against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17.

More importantly, Stafford has receivers who can not only haul in passes, but can also make big gains after the catch. With Marvin Jones, Golden Tate and Eric Ebron lining up alongside him, Stafford is sure to try and attack Thomas’s replacement, Steven Terrell, who gave up a big 80-yard touchdown in Week 16’s loss to the Cardinals, and who has been struggling in place of Thomas.

While the Seahawks may have the home-field advantage entering Saturday night, they need to account for the deep threats and hope that Terrell and the rest of the Legion of Boom are up to the task.
