The Minnesota Vikings are coming to CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington with an 8-3 record and are in second place behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. In their last game against the Denver Broncos, the Vikings managed to secure a 27-23 win after being down 20-0 at halftime. This feat was the first time in five years that a team trailing by 20 points or more at halftime came back and secured a win. They managed to score four touchdowns from their possessions.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins led them to victory, going into a two-minute offense, completing 29 of 35 passes for 319 yards and scoring three of the four touchdowns. Minnesota wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught at least five passes and recorded five receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Kyle Rudolph also had five catches for 67 yards and a score.

The Seattle Seahawks are also looking to win this game to keep up with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West division. In their most recent game, the Seahawks also recorded a win against the Philadelphia Eagles, beating them 17-9. The star of that game was Seattle’s defense. Running back Rashaad Penny carried the ball 14 times for 129 yards, scoring a touchdown as well. And of course, quarterback Russell Wilson kept the team’s momentum, completing 13 of 25 passes for 200 yards with a touchdown and an interception. However, he was sacked six times.
