The Vikings have quite the battle on Monday Night Football in Seattle against the Seahawks.
Minnesota will certainly have its hands full with Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
If not for Lamar Jackson, Wilson would probably be at the top of the MVP charts.
On the season, Wilson has thrown for 2,937 yards, a league-leading 24 touchdowns and just three interceptions. He’s also ran for 271 yards and three touchdowns.
The Vikings aren’t great against running quarterbacks, but they did hold Wilson to just 72 passing yards in last season’s 21-7 loss to Seattle, but also allowed him to run for 61 yards.
Normally, the Vikings defense is solid against both the run and the pass. This season, well, not so much. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes has fallen off a bit and the Vikings have allowed 2,689 passing yards, a mark that ranks 20th in the league and 19 passing touchdowns, a mark that ranks 23rd in the league.
If the Vikings want to continue their hot streak in the NFC, they’ll need to rattle Wilson, something not very many teams have been able to do.
