Air quality concerns linger for Seahawks vs. Patriots Sunday

In the midst of wildfires raging all over the west coast of the United States, speculation has risen over whether air quality will be a factor in the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 2 game against the New England Patriots at CenturyLink Field.

Coach Pete Carroll told reporters Wednesday he is in communication with the NFL to determine how things will turn out on Sunday. He expressed hope that the game would proceed without complications.

“We’re in direct connection with [the NFL] and they are monitoring what’s going on as we are as well,” Carroll said.
