It's only week 10 but this contest could have big ramifications on Tampa Bay's playoff seeding when the postseason arrives. The Seahawks haven't missed a beat despite dealing star quarterback Russell Wilson over the offseason. Quarterback Geno Smith and breakout rookie running back, Kenneth Walker, have found a rhythm offensively while the pass-rush is one of the best in the league. Smith has compiled a 15-4 TD/INT ratio and Walker has scored at least one touchdown in five straight games.
