2014 Seattle Seahawks Week 8 Preview and Power Rankings 
Posted on October 25, 2013 at 04:13 PM.

The Seattle Seahawks wrap up a string of 3 straight home games with a tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles at CenturyLink Field. It will be rookie Stephen Morris' first venture into the unfriendly confines of the CLink, and the match-up will also feature the leagues top offense, against the leagues worst defense.

Game Notes
Seattle is 6-7 all time against the Philadelphia Eagles, but have won 3 of the last 4 in the series. The last game was a 31-14 win for Seattle in 2011 at CenturyLink Field.


Players to Watch:

Offense:

LeSean McCoy - RB: "Shady" is one of the premier backs in the game and one of the few who can match-up against Marshawn Lynch head to head.

Defense:

Trent Cole - OLB: Cole is one of the premier pass rushers in the game, and can cause problems for Russell Wilson on the day.

Prediction: Record wise these two teams are close, but as you can see above the Seahawks boast the leagues #1 offense going up against the worst defense in the league in Philadelphia. Getting behind early is not the recipe for success for a rookie QB in the CLink. Look for Philly to have a long day in this one.
