Seattle Seahawks

Ryan Grubb ascended to his first NFL opportunity this time last year, landing with the new Seahawks coaching staff as the team's offensive coordinator after a very successful stint at the University of Washington.

If the Seattle Seahawks are going to defeat the visiting Vikings on Sunday afternoon, they'll need as many of their playmakers as possible.

Both the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings are giving chase to the Detroit Lions in the NFC North. Both teams are still aiming to win the division but can guarantee themselves a ticket to the dance as soon as this weekend at minimum.

The New York Jets have had a terribly disappointing season, but their running backs have been an unquestionable bright spot.

The Minnesota Vikings are in a hole. The only way out and on to the NFL playoffs is to win this weekend and get a ton of help.

The Green Bay Packers were all but buried and waiting on fill dirt just a few weeks ago at 3-6. Now, at 5-6, the playoff chances are very much tangible for the team.

Many Vikings fans were unsure how Adam Thielen's next chapter of his career would go with the Carolina Panthers.

Any time you can witness a USD or SDSU product play at the NFL level, it's a must watch for South Dakotans. Unfortunately, things took a scary turn for one SDSU Jackrabbit alum in preseason action.

Reunited and it feels so good? We'll have to wait and see. Shelby Harris was a playmaking force on the Broncos defensive line not too long ago, but was dealt to Seattle as part of the trade that allowed the Broncos land Russell Wilson.

This time of year is awfully tough on first year NFL players, particularly those that were drafted late or not drafted at all.
