Seahawks versus Ravens: Preview and how to watch week 7
By Lee Vowell
12, want to watch the Seahawks take on Earl Thomas and the Baltimore Ravens in week 7? Here’s how! Plus, what to watch for!
The Seahawks are 5-1 and off to a better start than most people might have predicted. Not that Seattle wasn’t expected to be decent, but a 3-3 or 4-2 start would not have been surprising. But 5-1 they are and let’s hope their luck of winning tight games doesn’t run out on Sunday because the Ravens are good and this should be a close game.
Of course, one of the bigger, if not the biggest, story line going into the game is 12s will see the return of Earl Thomas, only the safety won’t be wearing a Seahawk uniform but a Raven one. Thomas will probably try to bite on one or two Russell Wilson throws, but that also means Wilson might get Thomas out of position. It’ll be the chess game to keep your eye on.
Baltimore is good against the run, ranking 4th in the NFL and giving up 80.7 yards per game. This may be the week that Seattle needs to turn nearly all of its offensive direction towards Wilson and not running back Chris Carson. Carson will get his carriers, but if Seattle wins it will be because Russell Wilson was great. Again.
