Can Patriots Exploit Seahawks’ Running Game In Big Sunday Night Game?
Share this: If you want to know why the Seattle Seahawks have had so many ups and downs on offense this season, look no further than their rushing attack. Marshawn Lynch ain’t walking through that door, and the team has averaged 75.4 rushing yards per game so far this season, which is 30th in the NFL. So that’s certainly something to keep an eye on when the Seahawks head to Gillette Stadium for a “Sunday Night Football” matchup with the New England Patriots.

Patriots Notes: Tom Brady, Pats QBs In Midst Of Historic Interception-Free Stret…
by Zack Cox on Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 5:26PM 1,900 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots quarterbacks have attempted 216 passes this season. Opposing defenders have caught exactly zero of them. Through seven games, the Patriots are the only team in the NFL that has yet to throw an interception.

Well, according to Elias Sports Bureau, New England is only the third team in modern NFL history to begin a season with seven interception-free games, joining the 1960 Cleveland Browns and 2008 Washington Redskins. (The Redskins’ streak ended in Week 9, while the Browns made

The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals played one of the worst games in the history of football, as both teams failed to score a touchdown in a 6-6 tie. It
