The Seattle Seahawks visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and are slight favorites despite being the road team. Fans should not expect an easy victory, despite Seattle having won seven in a row against Minnesota. For one thing, the Vikings should be highly motivated to avoid an 0-3 start to the season and the Seahawks only defeated them by one point last year at home.
Beating Minnesota on the road will require some adjustments from Russell Wilson and the coaching staff. The Seahawks will also have to win some critical one-on-one matchups. Here are three we’ll be watching closely this weekend.
