Three players Panthers should key on against Seahawks

The Panthers should pay attention to these three Seahawks on Sunday.

The Carolina Panthers are set to take on a resurgent Seattle Seahawks team that is fighting for their playoff lives. Beating the Green Bay Packers last Thursday, their chances certainly improved. It seems as though their defense is starting to find its form at the right time, and that the offense is beginning to look like the threat of seasons’  past. Seattle has many playmakers on both sides of the football, although arguably their strength lies within their offense. Among other things, they seemed to have been able to establish a running game again, which is bad news for the rest of the league.

The Carolina Panthers should be excited for this game. After all, it is a chance for them to redeem themselves following a disappointing loss at the hands of the Lions. Truth be told, this will not be an easy game. If anything, their schedule only gets harder from here on out. These last couple of games of the season will give us a good test as to whether the Carolina Panthers are a legitimate playoff team or if they are just flashy. It all begins at home on Sunday, with the Panthers returning from a difficult road trip.

Without further ado, we take a look at three Seahawks players the Panthers must watch out for if they want to win on Sunday.
