"I'm not quite as nimble as I once was," Favre said.
The Packers will take on the winner of the game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. If the Cowboys win, they will host Green Bay, if the Giants win, they will visit Lambeau.
Green Bay beat the Giants this season and lost to the Cowboys. Favre would certainly prefer to stay home -- he's 0-9 lifetime at Dallas.
Coming off their 35-14 win over the Washington Redskins last week in the wild-card round, the Seahawks seemed primed for an upset.
On Green Bay's first play, Grant caught a pass and fumbled. Then on Seattle's first play, Shaun Alexander plunged in from the one.
Grant did not do any better a minute later, when another fumble set up Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's 11-yard touchdown strike to Bobby Engram.
At that point, Green Bay looked lost. But when the snow started to pile, so did the points for the Packers.
It was 14-14 after the first quarter, and Green Bay led 28-17 at halftime.
Favre joined Joe Montana as the lone players to pass for more than 5,000 yards in the postseason. Once Favre started to connect, there was no stopping him. Coach Mike McCarthy won in his first postseason game, leading the NFL's youngest team to the next round.
The Seahawks fell to 0-8 in postseason road games since their only win, in 1983. The losing streak includes a loss in the Super Bowl two years ago.
