The Seattle Seahawks will come to Minneapolis on November 22, 2009 to play in a Sunday noon match-up against the Minnesota Vikings. This promises to be an interesting game, and the only time these two teams will appear against each other in 2009.
The Seattle Seahawks are known to be a solid team with 10 play-off appearances to their name and an appearance in the 2005 Super Bowl (which they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers). However, the Seattle Seahawks' 2008 season was a big disappointment. They completed the year with a 4-12 losing record and didn't reach play-offs despite making it to at least the Wild Card round for the past 5 seasons.
Does the team have what it takes to pull together in 2009? Insiders take a look at a few key players to watch for this season. Of course Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is a team leader. He has 147-94 touchdown-interception record and has 23,549 yards to his name. Another player to watch is Seattle Seahawks defensive end Baraka Atkins who completed the 2008 season with 29 tackles and 2 sacks. Brandon Mebane is another up-and-comer who had 39 tackles and 5.5 sacks during his second season in the NFL in 2008.
Based on the Seattle Seahawk's losing streak in 2008, the Minnesota Vikings have a big chance to secure a win in 2009. In 2008, Minnesota Vikings player Benny Sapp had 22 tackles and 2 interceptions. Bernard Berrian caught a 99-yard touchdown pass. And Gus Frerotte had an 8-3 record before a back injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. Due to these players and others on the team, the Minnesota Vikings posted a 10-6 record on the season and made it to the first round of the play-offs.
