The Facts: After his first game in 14 months, Lynch is even more prepared for his first playoff game in four years. The Seahawks running back, who unretired last week after the team had a rash of injuries at the position, could see even more action this week. “He can do everything,” HC Pete Carroll said. “He’s got the whole game plan.”

Diehards Line: Lynch, 33, played 23 of 75 offensive snaps against the 49ers and had 12 carries. He had only four practices leading up to that game. He now has another week in OC Brian Schottenheimer’s system. “I thought it would maybe take more of a toll in the first game, but it didn’t,” Carroll said. “So we’re in good shape going in." Carroll said Lynch “took all the reps that he needed to take” this week. Rookie Travis Homer is expected to start with Lynch spelling him.
