John Gilbert is the Field Gulls Deputy Editor and has covered the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since 2016. He specializes in the salary cap, the collective bargaining agreement and statistical analysis, with an occasional film breakdown sprinkled in.
For the second consecutive week, and for the third game in a row, the Seattle Seahawks face a divisional opponent in a game that could prove key to how the season turns out for the team.
Week 9 saw the Hawks drop a heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Rams, though with the bye to prepare in Week 10 Seattle upset the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11, sending the Niners into last place in the NFC West and keeping the Hawks playoff hopes alive.
