RENTON Delano Hill Color Rush Jersey , Wash. (AP) — For the Seattle Seahawks to have a say in the NFC playoff picture, they had to get past Green Bay. A loss would have likely proved too much to overcome with games remaining against Carolina, Minnesota and Kansas City.So Pete Carroll celebrated Thursday’s win in the way everyone would have expected. He rode Seattle’s waterfront Ferris wheel.“It’s a wonderful ride. Everyone should do it,” Carroll said Friday.The Seahawks’ 27-24 win over Green Bay snapped a two-game losing streak and created a path to where the postseason is now at least a realistic opportunity for Seattle. There are still challenges ahead, but Seattle is now in the conversation.“To be in it right now, we’re not where we want to be record-wise, but we’re fighting,” said tight end Ed Dickson Earl Thomas Color Rush Jersey , who caught the winning touchdown pass from Russell Wilson with 5:08 remaining.Seattle’s path to the postseason is relatively straightforward because of the way its schedule is structured. Five of the Seahawks’ final six games are against NFC teams. Three of those are against San Francisco, twice, and Arizona, who have combined records of 4-15 going into this week. The other two NFC opponents are Carolina next week and Minnesota in Week 14, the two teams directly in front of the Seahawks in the wild-card race.So while Seattle doesn’t have complete control of its playoff fortunes, it will have a say in whether it can stay in the race into the final weeks of the regular season. And it’s why knocking off the Packers was so crucial.“Doug (Baldwin) and I were talking about going back to 2015. We were 4-5, I think it was, and we got on a hot streak J.R. Sweezy Color Rush Jersey ,” Wilson said. “This is one game, we have a lot of games to go. We have a tough game ahead of us. Just a reminder of where we’ve been and where we’ve gone and how we’ve done it before.”That run Wilson referenced from 2015 was based largely on a passing offense that erupted in the final two months of the season. Seattle won six of its final seven games that season, scoring 29 or more points in each victory with Wilson throwing 24 touchdown passes and one interception during the seven-game span.A passing explosion like that isn’t likely to happen this time. But something could happen on the ground as Seattle continued to show it can run the ball with any of its three running backs.The Seahawks rushed for 173 yards against the Packers, their eighth straight game running for at least 100 yards as a team and the seventh straight game topping 150 yards. Last week against the Rams, Seattle used a healthy dose of Wilson’s legs when he rushed for a season-high 92 yards to complement the first 100-yard game of Rashaad Penny’s rookie season.Against the Packers, it was a combo of Penny, Chris Carson and Mike Davis as the closer. Carson had 83 yards on 17 carries; Penny had 46 yards, including a highlight 30-yard run in the first half; and Davis had just one carry until Seattle’s final drive when he had three carries for 16 yards as Seattle picked up two first downs to close out the game.“It might frustrate some people like we can’t make up our mind but I feel really comfortable with how we’re doing this Quinton Jefferson Color Rush Jersey ,” Carroll said. “Some games it will go in a different direction like we’ve seen, but it’s great to have that kind of flexibility. They all have characteristics and attributes that help us.”NOTES: Carroll was unclear about the status of LB K.J. Wright and his lingering knee problems. Wright couldn’t finish last week’s game against the Rams due to issues stemming from surgery he had in August. He was inactive Thursday. “We’re trying to get his knee confident to where he can get back and stay back. We’re going to take our time, whatever time it takes to check that out,” Carroll said. … LB Mychal Kendricks will be able to rejoin the team in practice next week, but won’t be eligible to play until Week 14 against Minnesota. Kendricks was originally suspended indefinitely after pleading guilty to federal insider trading chargers, but had the suspension reduced to eight games. Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin revealed earlier this month that he will be headed for a third offseason surgery and head coach Pete Carroll said on Tuesday from the league meetings that it’s unclear when Baldwin will be ready to resume football work.Baldwin had knee and shoulder surgeries and is set to have sports hernia surgery in April. Carroll said he doesn’t know “conclusively” if that will be Baldwin’s last trip to the operating room, but that the team remains confident that he’ll be able to go in 2019.“In one respect there’s never been anybody that’s tougher and more able to come back from whatever challenges he’s [faced],” Carroll said Tom Johnson Color Rush Jersey , via Bob Condotta of the . “He’s been extraordinarily adept at figuring out how to return from understand the circumstances of being banged up. If he could, he will. If he could do it, he will. I have no doubt in that. But it’s a been a challenging offseason for him. He’s had a lot of stuff he’s been working on. This latest one is going to take some time again. Whatever he has to do we’re going to follow, support and believe in it.”The multiple injuries forced Baldwin to miss games for the first time since 2012 and his 50 catches were his fewest since the 2013 season, which was the last year Baldwin wasn’t a regular starter for the Seahawks. The health issues haven’t led the Seahawks to make any moves at receiver to this point in the offseason, but that could change if Baldwin’s outlook gets dimmer as the start of the season draws closer.
