Seahawks safety Coby Bryant is tied for the team-lead in interceptions among all defensive backs on the team with two. The player he's tied with, Derion Kendrick, was waived by the Seahawks earlier this week. Bryant will attempt to bait the inexperienced Brosmer into a mistake.
Leonard Williams, DE
The Vikings have struggled to protect their quarterbacks this season. The interior of the offensive line has especially struggled. Pro Bowl Seahawks defensive end Leonard Williams will identify several matchup advantages inside. Expect Williams to be in Brosmer's face all afternoon long.
