The Vikings will be going up against a red-hot Seahawks team in Week 13 on Monday Night Football.
With Sunday’s 17-9 win over the Eagles, the Seahawks improved to 9-2 on the season and have now won four-straight games.
The 8-3 Vikings have won their last two, and had a Week 12 bye week.
These are two teams fighting for playoff positioning. Both teams have a shot in their own divisions and also a shot at a first-round bye.
If the season ended today (before the Sunday Night Football game against the Packers and 49ers, which obviously has huge implications), the Seahawks would be the fifth seed in the NFC while the Vikings would be the sixth seed.
The Vikings are trying to change the narrative against the Seahawks, but it won’t be easy in Seattle. Minnesota is 5-11 against Seattle over the years, having lost the last four matchups.
The two teams faced off on Dec. 10 last season at U.S. Bank Stadium and the Seahawks won 21-7 despite only 72 passing yards from Russell Wilson.
