Jaguars vs Seahawks: Breaking Down Seattle's Game Plan | Bleacher Report
The Seattle Seahawks take on the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. As heavy favorites, the game plan for Seattle is unlikely to be overly complicated. The strategy is going to be to keep it simple, avoid mistakes and let their superior skill and athleticism carry them to victory. On paper, these are two very mismatched teams. The Seahawks are undefeated, including a blowout win over one of last season's Super Bowl teams. The Jaguars have nothing but losses on the season so far, including an embarrassing blowout defeat to the team that had the worst record in the NFL last season.
