This week the Seattle Seahawks return to their 2012 house of horrors as they visit the Georgia Dome where their season ended in heartbreak last year in the Divisional Playoffs. They will be facing a re-vamped Atlanta running game with familiar foe Steven Jackson now on the Atlanta Falcons after leaving St. Louis in the off-season.

Game Notes
First meeting since last year's divisional playoff that Atlanta won 30-28 at the gun. Seattle leads the all-time series over Atlanta 8-6, but have lost the last 4. Their last regular season meeting was in 2011, also a 30-28 win for Atlanta.

Players to Watch:

Offense:

Tony Gonzalez - TE: The long time veteran and first ballot hall of famer was the one who was able to break open on the Falcons last second drive last year to get them into range for their game winning Field Goal.

Defense:

Asante Samuel - CB: The Falcons defense has been considered a question mark by some pundits this year, however Samuel is one of the better corners in the game, and with Harvin out the Seahawks wide recievers may have a tough day getting open.

Prediction: The Seahawks will tell you all week that this is just another game, but believe that this one has been circled on the calendar for a while. It wont be easy, but the Seahawks will be looking to put another ghost of 2012 behind them and avenge last year's devastating playoff loss.
