Ex-Seahawk: Marshawn Lynch was not ‘explosive’ during week

Minnesota will be making their 13rd appearance in the Wild Card Round.

Meanwhile at FedEx Field in Maryland, where they are expecting a balmy 54 degrees when Washington faces off against the Green Bay Packers, fans were paying at least $125 a seat on StubHub. Minnesota is 3-3 at home all-time in the Wild Card Round with their last home win coming on January 6th, 2001 against the New Orleans Saints.

No surprise to see the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers playing in Sunday’s NFC playoff games.

The magic number for the Minnesota defense is 19. He’s first in league history with 4,000-plus yards passing, 500-plus yards rushing and 30-plus TDs passing in one season. But after Friday’s practice, Carroll backed off, saying, “We’ve got to make sure he’s okay”. He is officially listed as probable.

A report from CNN.com is calling the weather forecasted for the Seahawks vs. Vikings game to be “insanely cold”. He did participate on Friday but his status is probable. On top of all that, safety Antone Exum played for a majority of the game with a fractured rib.

Last meeting: A depleted defense and outmatched offense led to the Vikings’ 38-7 loss to the Seahawks just a month ago at TCF Bank Stadium.

Kickoff is just after noon with the sun overhead, but as the day goes on, the Seahawks’ sideline will be shaded, while the Vikings remain in the sunlight.

It appeared as if Marshawn Lynch would return for the postseason, but the star running back has been ruled out of Sunday’s contest.

According to multiple outlets, the former Cal running back told the team just as they were preparing to board the plane that he was “too banged up to play”. “So, I feel like it’s been a lot of growth since Week 1”.

The weather and Wilson’s pass protection will factor into how many prime chances WR Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett get against a Minnesota pass defense that is physical but prone to being beaten deep. They thrashed Arizona on its home field 36-6 despite already having their playoff spot already clinched. Brown added a touchdown. The offense is moving the ball nearly easily gaining 412.9 yards per game.

Russell Wilson played his final year of college ball at Wisconsin and had a few chilly practices inside Camp Randall Stadium. Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon, who totaled 231 yards and three TDs over last three games, could be worth pickup for depth at RB or flex spot. I think that would be in the best interests of the league if somebody would take Mike.

Lynch had missed the previous seven games following an abdominal injury that needed surgery, but had rejoined the squad this week, practicing Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The Vikings hosted the Giants at the ninth-coldest game in their history.

Although prices dipped as low as $45 last week, the cheapest ticket to be had at 10 p.m. Saturday night was $70 on StubHub, while seats started at $78 apiece on NFL Ticket Exchange. He’s been working with him for years, and the bottom line is that everyone felt most comfortable that’s where he should go and work out. A high of 4 degrees is now expected, with winds gusting 8 to 10 miles per hour.
