2013 Seattle Seahawks Week 15 Preview, Power Rankings, and Playoff Picture
Posted on September 28, 2013 at 05:04 PM.
After suffering their first loss of the season, the Seattle Seahawks take to the road again to take on the New York Giants, who are now all of the sudden battling for their playoff lives after a loss last week. Both teams will have tons to play for, as the Seahawks are trying to hold off the Eagles and 49ers for Home-Field advantage, and a first round bye.

Players to Watch:
Offense:
Victor Cruz - WR: The Giants all-world receiver will be a good test for a Seahawks pass defense that has struggled this season. Richard Sherman, and Brandon Browner will need to be in his hip pocket all game if they want to keep him from salsa dancing all over the Seahawks in this one.
Defense:
Justin Tuck - DE: Tuck just signed a new 4yr/31.2 million dollar deal this week, and he's going to want to show the Giants that he was worth every penny. Russell Okung will have his hands full with the dynamic pass rusher all day.
Prediction: Both teams have a lot to play for in this one. The Giants are fighting for their playoff lives, and even though the Seahawks just suffered their first lost last week, they are all of the sudden in a dog fight for the division crown. This is going to be a battle all game long, but at the end of the day, the better team should prevail, and the Giants palyoff hopes may be dashed as a result
