Here’s a look at some key factors for the Seahawks when they take on Carolina Sunday in Charlotte at 10 a.m. PST. The game will be televised on FOX.
THE SETUP
Just like last Thursday’s win against Green Bay, this is basically an early playoff game for each team. Carolina is 6-4 and currently holding the number five spot in the NFC but has lost two in a row and still has two games left against the Saints. The Seahawks are 5-5, but with a win could have the tiebreaker on the Panthers (as well as Dallas and Green Bay) and has to leave Seattle just once in the final five games of the season.
