I heard from a few international Seahawks fans that they were hoping for country-specific stores. Turns out, it wasn’t a hard change to make. 6 counties were available and now added!

The NFC playoff race, not just the division

Seven teams make the NFC playoffs, four division winners and three wild cards. Seattle is 2-1, and six other teams in the conference are 2-1 or better: San Francisco and Minnesota at 3-0, Chicago, Detroit, the Giants and Philadelphia at 2-1. That group is the race, and Sunday is a chance to thin it out.
