The Patriots week 14 match-up is against the Seattle Seahawks who have been struggling as of late and it gives New England a chance to get their playoff hunt back on track.After losing to the Steelers last week and falling to 7-5 the Patriots need a win to close the gap on the Jets who have a game advantage over the Pats.
The Seahawks have been struggling as of late and currently stand at 2-10 and are on a run of a nine game losing streak. With their QB Matt Hasselbeck doubtful for the game because of a recurring back injury, New England have the best opportunity possible to win this game and move to 8-4.
Matt Cassel is coming off a poor game against the Steelers when he threw 2 interceptions so he will be looking to have another performance like the one against Miami when he threw three touchdowns to Randy Moss.
After losing several starters this season, the Patriots have resigned linebackers Junior Seau and Roosevelt Colvin to fill in the gaps left by Adalius Thomas and Pierre Thomas, who injured his jaw against the Steelers.
This game also marks the first that Deion Branch has had since he left New Engalnd after a four year career there that included a Super Bowl MVP award against the Panthers. In that game Branch caught 10 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown.
Whatever the outcome the game at Qwest Field, should be a good match in which the Patriots could win and get back into playoff contention.
