Seahawks-Vikings most-watched early Sunday wild-card game

Yesterday’s NFL football playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings was the 3rd coldest game in NFL history, as temperatures were -6° F with a wind chill of -25° F. It was so cold that camera batteries weren’t performing well and had to be warmed up on the sidelines.

To get there, Peterson has two things he personally wants to improve. From there it looked like the Seahawks chances of turning things around with only 26 seconds left on the play clock and a chance at a third Super Bowl appearance were grim.

In two games against Seattle this season, Peterson had 31 carries for 63 yards. Unspectacular, but quality and steady.

Sideline heaters were placed on both sides of the field to help players and other personnel stay warm, but they also came in handy as a way for media to warm up their camera batteries. Seattle moved to 8-2 without Lynch this season.

It was because of this scene that many fans felt they had just witnessed the pivotal scene from the film in real life.

The Seahawks walked away the victors after a missed field goal kick from Vikings’ kicker Blair Walsh, and Carroll said Monday his team was “fortunate” to get out of Sunday’s wild card game with a win.

Not only did they maintain consistency in this parity-painted, unpredictable league, the Vikings overtook the rival Packers for the NFC North title and finished 11-5.

But the Seahawks couldn’t get past the Bears the next week in frigid Chicago. Games coming down to the wire and hinging on one play is commonplace in the NFL.

“Without a doubt. I definitely take the blame, without a doubt. I envision myself doing things like that at a different level”.

“It was like sitting in a freezer, honestly”, Sherman said. “There’s a high percentage that they make them, but you’ve still got to do it”.

“I’ve got long johns and some insulated trousers and some bibs and a jacket and about three sweatshirts underneath”. His second-half fumble also allowed Seattle to kick a field goal for the 10-9 lead.

Peterson said no surgeries would be needed this offseason and his body is healthy beyond the normal “nag and nicks” that will heal with rest. They’ve lost 23 of them. But I can tell you this: “it’s my fault”.

MATURING BRIDGEWATER: The growing pains for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater remained, but he mostly performed well down the stretch while the Vikings were trying to secure their spot in the playoffs. “These same idiots who want to sit there and remind me of my one miss don’t know and probably don’t think of everything in the big picture but I’ve not missed a field goal in the playoffs since”. Despite an unfortunate end to the season Vikings fans should still look back on the 2015-16 season with fond memories.

But upon seeing the replay of Walsh’s shank, the four-time Pro Bowler immediately empathized with his Minnesota counterpart. His contract will expire, but considering he held his own in a reduced role and Zimmer’s fondness of him, there could be a spot for him again.

Carroll indicated “it really could” go up to Sunday’s 10:05 a.m. Pacific game time at Carolina before the Seahawks know whether Lynch can play against the Panthers.
