Can L.O.B. stop the two tight end formation?
For the Seahawks, it’s the opposite story. They need to utilize their potent passing game in order to take home a win this weekend. While Marshawn Lynch is an absolute beast out of the backfield, the threat of Lynch could be more helpful than him actually running the ball.
Seattle should open the game up with some runs behind Marshawn, but slowly shift things towards the pass. Using the run will open up the screen game that they use so effectively, as well as play action passes. They have some great receivers that can get open deep, and if they can get the secondary to bite on a fake handoff to Lynch, it won’t be hard for Wilson to lay one right into Doug Baldwin’s hands.
Of course, Baldwin is only one of the budding stars that the Seahawks have, with guys like Jermaine Kearse and Paul Richardson also being dangerous targets at times.
After all, if it weren’t for Kearse’s late-game heroics again the Packers, Seattle wouldn’t even be in this game.
