Russell Wilson: 'Beating New Orleans Saints is pretty spectacular'

Russell Wilson has said that the Seattle Seahawks' playoff win over the New Orleans Saints was "pretty spectacular".

The NFC West champions sealed their place in the NFC championship game with a 23-15 victory over the sixth seeds last night.

The quarterback told reporters: "The fashion that we won was pretty spectacular, and the fans were awesome once again. The fact that we came down to the very, very end of the game is always exciting for us.

"We look forward to the next opportunity. It's still a 1 and 0 mentality, we're right there, right at the edge. I think that to fine tune everything is the most important thing.

"I thought we did a tremendous job today with the circumstances, but to fine tune how we can get better and how we capitalise that much more, whether we play the 49ers or the Panthers, we're excited about that opportunity."

The Seahawks will try to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2005 season in next weekend's game.
