Keys for the Vikings
— If the Vikings are going to upset the Seahawks, they have to give Brosmer the freedome to let it rip. This isn’t going to be a game the Vikings can win by simply controlling the time of possession. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean Brosmer should be asked to shoulder the load by himself. There should be a healthy dose of Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason on the ground. That said, Kevin O’Connell can’t be afraid to open up the playbook because Brosmer is under center, otherwise the Vikings are going to have no chance of hanging with the Seahawks on the scoreboard.
Keys for the Seahawks
— The focus for Sam Darnold should start and stop with him taking care of the ball. The issue for Darnold has been his propensity to get out of sorts in the face of interior pressure. There’s a good chance the Vikings are going to attack the middle as much as possible with hopes of Darnold either throwing an interception or losing a fumble. If he’s able to limit his mistakes, the Seahawks will run away from the Vikings with relative ease.
