Robert Griffin III says his knee injury will not be a factor as he prepares for an all-rookie showdown with Russell Wilson as the Seattle Seahawks visit Washington in the play-offs.

Wilson praise

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is confident of pulling off what would be a fine road victory, and feels Wilson has what it takes to lead Seattle into the next round of the play-offs. "Russell has had a fantastic season," said Carroll. "He's done everything we could have hoped for, we raised him up and he just took off and ran with it and our offence has really grown and improved over the season. "He's been highly efficient, great with the football and a guy you can trust absolutely, he's conscious about taking care of the football which is key to our philosophy." The Redskins have won the last six regular season meetings, but in the play-offs it is the opposite with Seattle playing, and beating, Washington in the Skins' last two post-season games.
