Seattle's rout of Minnesota sends statement to NFC

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — There was something a little different in the pregame video Seattle coach Pete Carroll showed his players before facing Minnesota, flashbacks of their college days spliced with moments of greatness as pros.

What followed on Sunday against the Vikings was a 60-minute video of complete domination that Carroll may use in the future.

"The feeling is where it's supposed to be right now for us," Carroll said on Monday.

Seattle's 38-7 rout of the Vikings put the Seahawks (7-5) firmly in possession of a wild card spot in the NFC with a one-game lead over Tampa Bay and Atlanta and a potential future tiebreaker over Minnesota thanks to the head-to-head victory.
