Despite a number of problems the Seattle Seahawks carry into their matchup with the winless Minnesota Vikings, including and close out games offensively, there is one thing that is truly in their favor: history.
Since Pete Carroll became head coach of the Seahawks, his teams have gone 7-0 against Minnesota, including the playoffs. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, meanwhile, has yet to win against Seattle since getting the job in Minnesota, going 0-5.
We all remember last year’s heart-stopping Sunday Night Football matchup, where DK Metcalf’s 4th-down TD gave the Seahawks a 27-26 victory in the closing seconds.
