Seahawks Vs. Vikings NFC Wild Card Playoff Game

Now the question is if the Seahawks can beat the Minnesota Vikings in a wild-card playoff game to give him the chance.

Pete Carroll expressed concern during Friday’s press conference that his star running back might not make it and those fears were confirmed a few hours later when Lynch reportedly informed the team that he simply was not yet ready to play.

The Seahawks will have to face the Vikings’ stingy defense without Lynch, but he reportedly hopes that he can play in the divisional round. He had been practicing this week, and Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell had even said that he expected Lynch to be “full-go, full speed” on Sunday.

“Just sitting back thinking about it, I didn’t imagine it would take this long to be in the postseason (again)”, Peterson said.

“It’s a distinct honour”, Carroll said. All we have to look forward to now is what the Seahawks’ and Lynch’s next move will be this offseason. The Minnesota Vikings head into the playoffs looking like a team on the rise, with a second-year head coach pushing the right buttons, a 23-year-old quarterback still figuring things out and a young, fast, aggressive defense that only figures to get better in the coming seasons. The Seattle Seahawks have officially downgraded Marshawn Lynch to “out” for Sunday’s playoff game. The Seahawks yielded 11.0 points and 218.8 total yards per game over their final five contests and forced 11 turnovers in their last six, including three interceptions of Arizona quarterbacks during last Sunday’s 36-6 rout of the NFC West champion Cardinals on the road. After Friday’s workout, he felt like he couldn’t play. ” This would be like the first game of the year, as we would approach, so we have been here before with him, and I know we know how to handle that.”. “And he’s looked really good in practice”. “We’ve got to go (Saturday) to see if he’s OK from (Friday’s practice)”.

“But when he met the media around 2 p.m. PST, following the team”™s practice he said: “I have not said yet that he”™s playing. We are encouraged by his work.

For the season, the Seahawks defense ranked first in points allowed and second in yards allowed per play.

The Seahawks also finished 5-3 at both home and on the road, the first time since 2002 Seattle won as many or more games on the road as it did at home, and just the seventh time in 40 years.

“Absolutely, this was a statement, ” said running back Christine Michael, who rushed for a career-high 102 yards to support three more Russell Wilson touchdown passes. He was actually thought of as the starter and getting the bulk of the carries against the Vikings.

But the largest storyline in Sunday’s first playoff game is the weather.

On the other side, Russell Wilson has been on fire, throwing for 24 touchdowns the last seven games compared to just one pick.
