The Seattle Seahawks returned to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton late Sunday evening after losing a heart breaker game to Atlanta 30-28 in the NFC Divisional game. The Falcons will host the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday at 11 a.m. (Pacific Time) for the NFC Championship.
What's next for the Seahawks?
Players will clean out their lockers on Monday, embark on some well-deserved down time and mull over future plans. General Manager John Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll will work toward next season's team, starting with the National Football League Draft on April 25.
