Seahawks versus Vikings: Quick preview and how to watch, listen and stream

Here is what to see and how to watch the Seahawks play the Vikings in week five.

The Seahawks are 4-0 and the Vikings are 1-3. But don’t let that mislead you into some sort of false hope as a 12. Sure, Seattle should win on Sunday but one should not expect an easy victory. Is any Seattle win easy? Rarely.

This could very well be another high-scoring game for Seattle. They have a plus-minus of +33 in 2020 so far with an average score is 36 to 27. But even that is misleading. Throw out Seattle’s win in week one over the Falcons (probably the one “easy” win of the season) and the average Seahawks score this year is 35-28.

Both teams have good offenses and not-so-good defenses. Seattle will need to score early and often and keep scoring to win on Sunday because the Vikings are also probably going to put up a lot of points.

In other words, this will likely be a game for 12s like every other week. This means a white-knuckles, edge-of-ones-seat, heart-rate-inducing game that comes down to a late fourth quarter turning point. And to be fair, would we really want it any other way as long as the Seahawks win?
