Seahawks and Bengals. Let’s take a look at the keys of the game.
Geno Atkins vs. Justin Britt
This is the big one. In Sunday’s matchup, Justin Britt will have the pleasure of protecting Russell Wilson from Geno Atkins, the all-pro defensive tackle who has already registered three sacks and a whole bunch of pressures and QB hits for the Bengals this season. In Seattle’s first four matchups, the offensive line has given up a total of 18 sacks – and that number could easily be higher if it weren’t for Russell Wilson’s Houdini-like-abilities.
If Britt can provide Wilson with even just a little bit of time, the Seattle offense might be able to get something going.
