STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Seahawks making first of three East Coast trips this season. Seattle is 7-5 in last 12 games with 1 p.m. Eastern start time. ... Seahawks will have bye after this weekend and are NFL-leading 21-6 in games immediately prior to break. ... QB Russell Wilson expected to start despite suffering sprained medial collateral ligament in left knee vs. 49ers. If he plays and wins, Wilson would break tie with Tom Brady and Dan Marino for fifth-most wins in a QB's first five seasons with 49. ... RB Christine Michael ran for career-high 106 yards and two TDs vs. 49ers. Needs 12 yards rushing to set career best for season. ... WR Doug Baldwin had eight catches for career-high 164 yards with TD last week. ... TE Jimmy Graham had six receptions for 100 yards and TD in most productive game since tearing patellar tendon in right knee last season. ... Seattle signed RB C.J. Spiller to help banged-up backfield, including Thomas Rawls (shin) and C.J. Prosise (hand). ... CB Richard Sherman had INT, sack and forced fumble in last game vs. Jets. ... Jets calling for fans to wear all white for ''White Out'' game, and will hand out white towels. Players will also wear all white uniforms. ... QB Ryan Fitzpatrick coming off perhaps worst game of career, having thrown six interceptions vs. Chiefs to tie franchise record. Leads NFL with seven INTs for season. ... RB Matt Forte needs one TD catch to join Marshall Faulk, Marcus Allen, Thurman Thomas and Herschel Walker as only players in NFL history with 8,000 yards rushing, 4,000 yards receiving and 20 touchdown receptions in career. Forte's 13,046 yards from scrimmage since entering NFL in 2008 are most by any player in that span. ... WR Eric Decker has caught TD pass in eight consecutive home games, longest active streak in league. He has ailing shoulder that kept him out of practice earlier in week, leaving availability uncertain. ... Jets claimed TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins off waivers from Buccaneers, who cut him following DUI arrest last week. Uncertain if he'll be active vs. Seahawks. ... WR Quincy Enunwa leads Jets with 17 catches. ... CB Marcus Williams has INT in four of last seven games. ... Fantasy Tip: All eyes on Wilson and his left knee. If he struggles or needs to be replaced by undrafted rookie Trevone Boykin, it could greatly affect value and production of both Baldwin and Graham.
