Game Notes
Seattle leads the all-time series between the two expansion partners 7-4. The Seahawks first ever franchise win was a 13-10 win over the Buccaneers at the Kingdome. They last played in 2010 at Raymond James Stadium. a 38-15 beat down for the Bucs.


Players to Watch:

Offense:


Doug Martin - RB:The second year runner burst onto the scene for the Buccaneers in his rookie year quickly establishing himself as one of the best young backs in the league.

Defense:


Darrelle Revis - CB: Not much needs to be said about Revis, he is arguably the best shutdown corner in the league, and he has done plenty of arguing with Seahawks CB Richard Sherman about the manner.

Prediction: The Bucs have shown that they are much improved this year, and will no doubt provide more of a test for the Seahawks than their last two games, but the 12th man should rise up, and spur the Hawks to victory one more time in this magical seasonSeahawks 31, Bucs 23
