The Seahawks were looking to extend their four-game winning streak and keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Vikings were hoping to stay in the hunt for the NFC North title.
The Seahawks got off to a strong start, as quarterback Russell Wilson threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Golden Tate on their first drive of the game. The defense then stepped up and forced a three-and-out from the Vikings, setting up another scoring opportunity for the Seahawks. This time, running back Marshawn Lynch scored on a one-yard touchdown run to give Seattle a 14-0 lead.
The Vikings responded with a field goal, but the Seahawks answered right back with another touchdown pass from Wilson to Tate. The defense then forced another three-and-out, and the Seahawks added another touchdown before halftime to take a 28-3 lead into the break.
