Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley admits that he feels a lot more confident going into his side's rematch against the Seattle Seahawks than he did the first encounter.

Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Corey Linsley has insisted that he is going into his second match against the Seattle Seahawks with a lot more confidence than his first encounter.

The 23-year-old made his first NFL start against the reigning Super Bowl champions in the first game of the 2014 season, as Mike McCarthy's men slumped to a 36-16 defeat.

However, Linsley feels that the Packers' offense has grown throughout the season as they prepare for the NFC championship game at CenturyLink Field.

"It feels a lot different mainly because of the guys around me, and I feel like they have a little bit more confidence in me since week one," Linsley told reporters. "And also in our offense, I think our offense is 10 times as better than it was week one. We found our identity.

The Packers can advance to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2010 season with a victory over the Seahawks.
