The Seahawks are 6-2. Tampa Bay is 2-5. But the Buccaneers are very capable of beating Seattle on Sunday. In fact, the Buccaneers did so in 2016 14-5 when Seattle still had Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman. Earl Thomas missed that game with an injury.
When I was at the game in 2016 in Tampa, I thought there is no way that Seattle should lose this game. The Buccaneers got off to a two touchdown lead quickly and the Seahawks simply could not catch up. Tampa Bay’s defense was great that day and Seattle’s was not.
The problem for Seattle is the same kind of matchup possibly exists for this Sunday.
