Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson now holds the highest completion percentage by a Seattle quarterback in a postseason game.

The Seattle Seahawks are moving on to the NFC's Divisional Round after defeating the Detroit Lions 26-6 on Saturday. To recap notable player performances, team milestones and (of course) how the game played out, we compiled 10 numbers from the Wild Card matchup:

1

Seahawks fullback and nine-year pro Marcel Reece played in and won his first career NFL playoff game yesterday.

2

Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril recorded two sacks against his former team. This was Avril's first double-digit sack game in the playoffs of his career.

Detroit recorded season-lows in three key categories: total net yards (231), time of possession (23:21) and third down conversions (2/11).

10

Saturday's win increased the Seahawks' postseason home win streak since 2005 to 10. Since 2010, Seattle is 23-4-1 in primetime games (including playoffs). 

Also, for the sixth time in Pete Carroll's seven years as Seahawks head coach, his team advanced to the Divisional Round of the NFL postseason.

11

Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin caught 11 of his 12 targets against the Lions and is now Seattle's all-time leader in postseason receptions, surpassing Darrell Jackson. This was the second double-digit receptions game Baldwin has posted in his career. He also top 100 yards receiving for the third time in the playoffs.
