Seahawks at Vikings
Vikings win their conference and get to play at home. Outdoors in a polar vortex. Against
twice-defending NFC champs. Seahawks have turned around a dismal start and are now playing like
their former selves. Seattle is a mild-weather environment; how will they handle the extreme
cold in frozen Minneapolis? A few days ago the forecast was for -12 degrees F. Dangerously cold.
Looks a little better in the latest forecast:
By now the Seahawks' winning formula is no secret. They play league's stingiest defense (17.3, fewest points allowed). They run the ball (top 3) in rush
attempts. QB Wilson leads an efficient pass attack (high yards per pass, low INT, low QB sacks). In the second half, they came together
and scoring went through the roof. Vikings were victims five games back, see chart below.
