The Seattle Seahawks are set to take on the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football in a game that could feature the Seahawks revitalized pass rush and a Vikings defensive front that excels at applying pressure to the quarterback. For the Hawks it is not only a chance to all but lock up a trip to the postseason, it’s a game that can give Seattle an extra game of cushion in the Wild Card race.
The Seahawks and Vikings would be the fifth and sixth seeds in the playoffs if the season ended today, and the game Monday could see either team come out on top, giving inside position for the stretch run through the end of the year.
