Vikings DT Joseph to return versus Seahawks
Yes, the Seahawks have begun their quest for a third straight Super Bowl appearance with the opportunity to avenge last year’s crushing loss to New England.
Playing the Seattle Seahawks, the case would not have been as bad had the game happened either next year or a few years ago. The Seahawks have had one of the most dominant home field advantages in recent memory, but they’re going to have win away from CenturyLink Field.
That didn’t stop one fan in Richland from getting playoff tickets and traveling over 1,500 miles to go see the game.
Minnesota, though, will likely focus on its ground game.
So, that’s that, and without this major offensive weapon, Seattle (10-6) will have nothing to threaten the Vikings (11-5), especially in the frigid cold temperatures that should… well, not so fast.
The autonomy – not to mention $12 million – the Seahawks gave Lynch cuts both ways.
But Friday night the team ruled out Lynch out and the Seahawks will now go with Michael, Brown and Jackson as tailbacks against the Vikings.
He picks Seahawks to win a close game on Sunday. So can they do it? Unless they advance to the NFC championship game and Washington or Green Bay beats Carolina, this will be their last game on campus. “So I have not said yet that he’s playing”. While rumors throughout the week speculated that Lynch would be good to go for the game, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports the Seahawks will be without their star running back.
Bridgewater was rough against the Packers, throwing his first interception in four games and overthrowing wide-open running back Jerick McKinnon for what should have been a touchdown on the opening drive. Rawls suffered a season-ending ankle injury the following week.
If Seattle loses on Sunday, it is now quite probable that Beast Mode has played his last game for the Seahawks.
The drop was fairly drastic given the position that Lynch plays. “And I can’t wait to hear all of the great things Congressman Ellison will be saying after the Seahawks defeat the Vikings”.
Just before they first played at TCF Bank Stadium in the 2014 preseason, the Vikings announced that they would designate the north sideline as the home sideline.
When the Vikings have the ball, you have to assume that Adrian Peterson is going to be the focal point of the offense once again. The team won three consecutive games before the regular season ends.
