The NFL is always concerned about its image. The integrity of the playoff system is taking a hit with the 7-9 NFC Western Division Champion Seattle Seahawks hosting the 11-5 New Orleans Saints.
This is the first 7-9 team to make the playoffs. Three teams since 2002 have been 8-8. The NFL owners may want parity, but this is carrying it to the extreme.
If Seattle loses, this "problem" disappears, but can you imagine if they ran the table and faced the Pats in the Super Bowl?
