Earl Thomas: 'Seattle Seahawks haven't forgotten playoff loss'

Earl Thomas has said that the Seattle Seahawks' playoff defeat to the Atlanta Falcons is still the main topic of conversation in the team's locker room.

The NFC West side secured a wildcard place in last season's playoffs, but were knocked out by the NFC South champions in the divisional round.

The safety told NFL AM: "We haven't forgot. That is the biggest thing around the locker room. We haven't forgotten what happened in Atlanta.

"Guys are very motivated, and this is definitely my best off-season I've had, so I'm really excited. Looking forward to the season."

Thomas made 66 tackles for the Seahawks in 2012.
