The Week 14 game has all the makings to be a potential trap game for the Seattle Seahawks as they face the Atlanta Falcons, especially if wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is suppressed again.
The Seattle Seahawks have to make a more efficient and productive stretch towards the end of the season and don't fall into traps like the Atlanta Falcons.
The Seattle Seahawks need a bounce-back performance after last Sunday's rough game vs. the Minnesota Vikings, but now they have an injury concern among one of their starters.
