Did the Minnesota Vikings find a way to solve the NFL's Jaxon Smith-Njigba problem? Or were there a combination of factors that simply kept the ball from going JSN's way. We talk about some of the strategies Minnesota used -- from pressuring Sam to their use of linebacker and safety to send some extra attention toward the NFL's leading receiver. Ernest Jones earned NFL honors for his game on Saturday, but DeMarcus Lawrence should have been in consideration for two of the biggest plays of the game.

The Atlanta Falcons are on deck for Seattle and may be the last "easy" game on the schedule. But should we ignore the fact they've either won or played their last four losses close? Bijan Robinson could pose a challenge for the Seahawks defense, but is there anyone else on the Falcons offense to be concerned with? Sam Darnold may have another week where he'll be challenged against the blitz, but we could also see more success on the ground than we saw against Minnesota. Seattle could continue to lean into the run game and protect the football.

In the second half of the show, we take a look at aggregate power rankings for all NFL teams and the Seahawks find themselves in the top 5 across most of the rankings. We take a look at some of the other teams and which one could be best to challenge the Rams (apart from Seattle). The NFL Hall of Fame selection committee needs to do better and so does society (apparently). Better at life honors go to an NBA coach for having the back of some arena staff members and to one state's wildlife conservation commission for their fight against invasive snakes.
