TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets
When the Seattle Seahawks are at home they are almost impossible to beat, because those fans and players realize they play extremely well at home. Russell Wilson looks like a probowler when he plays at home as well. Russell Wilson completed 16-of-24 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns versus the Vikings in Week 9. Wilson found Golden Tate for scores for six and 11 yards and tossed an 11-yard touchdown to Sidney Rice, all in the first half. He was on the way to his way to his finest fantasy game of the season, only to see his coaches take the air out of the ball with a second-half lead and Christian Ponder unable to move his own offense. Wilson has a tougher matchup versus Rex Ryan’s Jets in Week 10.
If Wilson can keep up his success at home, expect to see both Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez out in New York. They are coming off a bye and have had 2 weeks to prepare for the Seattle team. Hopefully they are practicing on how to run, because if they are thinking of beating the big co...

GIF: Seattle Seahawks WR Sidney Rice completes pass on trick play
This was a great play that was drawn up, and pretty much everyone on the defense bit on the wide receiver screen. The execution was even more impressive and while it wasn’t the greatest throw of all-time, Seahawks TE Zach Miller made a hell of a catch off the pass from Sidney Rice. It’s just a shame that this one didn’t go for six, otherwise it would be the play of the day.Via: SB Nation

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks: Five Things We Learned
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch set the standard for what is known as "beast mode".What it means is that a runner is running with such ferocity and power, that the very Earth trembles beneath it every time they carry the ball.I chose those words on purpose, because for me the first time I saw Lynch go "beast mode" was in a Wild Card playoff game following...

Week 9 - Seahawks Win! (R-Rated Thread)
Adrian Peterson is a hell of a running back (losing K.J. Wright early hurt the run defense in a big way), but it's hard to win games when your quarterback only manages to throw for 62 yards.
More importantly, the Seahawks offense was able to overcome some bad drops early on and move the chains when it needed to most, thanks in large part to a good performance by Russell Wilson...
