Wilson turns fumble into 35-yard pass vs Vikings

Now, NFL analysts wonder if Lynch being out will keep the Seahawks from beating the Vikings in this wild card playoff.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer undoubtedly has spent countless hours this week breaking down film of the Seattle Seahawks as he prepares for Sunday’s playoff game at TCF Bank Stadium.

With their lead reduced to two points, the Vikings’ next drive ended after two plays when Kam Chancellor forced Peterson to fumble, allowing Steven Hauschka to kick them into a 10-9 lead from 46 yards. He broke a franchise record for touchdown passes (34) and yards (4,024) in a season and led the National Football League in passer rating for the season at 110.1.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson finished the regular season on a historic high, with 24 touchdown passes and only one interception over the final seven games.

The Seattle Seahawks know how to get the job done as they are three games away to the Super Bowl. The Vikings won the NFC North this season by picking up a win over Green Bay on the final week of the season, but for the Packers that might have been a better overall option for the post season. But trailing by nine early in the fourth, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson made the play of the game, retreating to pick up a snap that sailed by his head.

Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs said the players have “got to be comfortable being uncomfortable”.

Seattle will be without tight end Luke Willson after he had a setback in his recovery from a concussion suffered in Seattle’s Week 16 loss to St. Louis. The wind chill on Sunday morning in Minneapolis is projected to be minus-23 degrees. We just want to see how he’s taking to the week’s work and all of that.

Instead of going to Arizona next weekend to take on the Cardinals, the Vikings are headed home.

On the season, the Seattle Seahawks average 236.9 yards in passing and 141.8 ayrds in rushing. Bryce Brown contributed a rushing touchdown last Sunday. But at the same time, they pay us to do a job, so I’ve got to go out there and do the job very well, and that’s what I tried to do.
