The Minnesota Vikings hosted the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs in a game that had good, bad, and interesting things happen.
It’s here. It’s playoff time! On Sunday, January 10, 2016, the Seattle Seahawks traveled to TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to take on the NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings. If the Vikings win, they go to Arizona to play the Cardinals. If the Seahawks win, they go on to face the first seed in the NFC, the Carolina Panthers.
The Seattle Seahawks entered the game winning 6 of their last 7 games. They were dubbed as the team that nobody wanted to face in the playoffs because of their decisive wins and difficult play style to plan for. Quarterback Russell Wilson has been here before multiple times, having brought his team to the Super Bowl on several occasions in his career already.
Meanwhile, Teddy Bridgewater had never been to the NFL playoffs before. They were a trendy team to make the playoffs before the season, and they realized that potential but drew not only a team that beat them before, but one that matches up very well against Minnesota. However, the experience of veteran running back Adrian Peterson will likely be where the Minnesota Vikings lean in order to get things going against the Seahawks.
The final score of the game was 9-10 in favor of the Seattle Seahawks, but the Vikings fought hard on the cold day to give Minnesota a chance at a win as time was running out.
There were some good things, bad stuff, and interesting occurrences during this game. Let’s start by talking about the good stuff.
