With the playoffs in sight, the Seattle Seahawks look to continue their streak of only losing one game per month if they can finish strong against the Minnesota Vikings. The return of Quandre Diggs brings a familiar spark to the defense, while we wait to see if Ty Okada will be back in the lineup on Sunday. Minnesota is rolling out an undrafted rookie quarterback with J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol. Will they continue to stick to a pass-heavy game plan that hasn't delivered for them this season? The run game—or lack thereof—stands out as a key factor, and Seattle's ability to put pressure on a young quarterback could turn this into a lopsided game. Will Sam Darnold see this as a big game considering his history in Minnesota? Or will we see a calm Darnold who should be able to tear apart the Vikings secondary?

In the second half of the show we discuss how the old "chain gang" appears to be missing for the 2025 NFL season. We've rarely seen the virtual measurement, let along the classic physical measurement. Are we just to the point where we'll trust the officials on the field to spot the ball? As we head into the shopping season, we discuss some disappointing trends that we were both faced with this past week. Better at Life honors go out to all the 12s who made the trip to Nashville.
