The Seahawks take on the Vikings in their final game before the bye week. After that, they get ready to finish out the season strong and earn the #1 seed in the NFC playoff race.
The matchup of the week will undoubtedly be Marshawn Lynch vs Adrian Peterson. Arguably the two best running backs in football square off against each other and the Seahawks’ defense has given up 200 yards in two of the past three games.
Lynch had his best game of the season last week against the Falcons so it’s not unreasonable to think we could see both teams’ ground games featured heavily throughout.
