Zach Miller came to Seattle thanks to a big contract and a penchant for catching a lot of passes.

After spending his first season with the Seahawks mainly as a blocker and catching very few passes, there were plenty of questions about whether the Seahawks made a smart investment.

That deal Miller signed in 2011 possibly paid for itself with his performance in last week's wild-card playoff game at Washington. Miller caught just four passes but they might have been the four biggest receptions in his two seasons in Seattle. He twice converted third-and-long situations on drives that led to points and caught a critical 2-point conversion in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' 24-14 win.

The four catches against Washington were the second-most of any game this season for Miller.
