The Seahawks need a win and a wee bit of help to clinch their playoff spot on Sunday. It would be easy to assume that Seattle should go into Charlotte and come away with a stress-free victory over the 5-8 Panthers. But Seattle, as 12s all know, does not seem to make any game stress-free.
Seattle might be playing without Ziggy Ansah and Shaquill Griffin and will definitely not have Jadeveon Clowney, so the Seahawks already questionable defense is weakened. Carolina has Christian McCaffrey and he will be put in positions to take advantage of Seattle’s defensive issues.
