The Seahawks had to overcome to beat the Vikings on Monday: Minnesota themselves, inconsistent play and the flu. But overcome those things Seattle did and defeated the Vikings 37-30. The defense didn’t give up all 30 points, however, and mostly did a good job.
Here are the grades for Seattle’s defense and special teams from week 13.
Defensive line
Sacks were not going to be easy to get on Monday because the Vikings were throwing short passes and getting the ball out of Kirk Cousins‘ hand quickly. But the line did get pressure on Cousins and had seven quarterback hits, 6 from the line.
