The Seattle Seahawks (0-3) are looking for win number one of the season as they travel to face the Minnesota Vikings (2-1)

The Vikings are led by

QB Johnny Griffith, he is 70-98 (71.4%) for 716 yards with 5 TDs and 3 INTs in 3 games this season. Griffith has a 96.3 passers rating.

RB Brian Hill, he has 218 yards rushing on 40 carries for a 5.45 ypc average. Hills longest run is 38 yards and he has 2 TDs in 3 games

TE Shaheen Adam, he has 17 catches for 228 yards with 0 TDs in 3 games this year. Adam's longest catch this year is 63 yards.

SILB Jatavis Brown has 27 tackles with 8 assists and 0.0 Sacks in 3 games this year. Brown had 111 tackles in 16 games last year.

SLB Julian Fitzgerald has 15 tackles, with 3 assists and 3.5 Sacks in 3 games this year. Fitzgerald had 8.0 Sacks in 16 games in 2020.

WLB Ben Jacobs has 18 tackles with 7 assists and 1 of 3 Viking INTs this year. Jacobs is in his 1st season with the Vikings 3 with the Jets and 1 with the Patriots.

Based on the Viking defense, look to the Seahawks to run the ball more than average while balancing the passing game to all areas of the field. Hopefully with LCB David and DE Morris the defense will step up today.
