Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham will score two touchdowns

Watch out, the Russell Wilson to Jimmy Graham connection has started to heat up.  The Seahawks are starting to see the Graham they thought they were getting when they traded for the former Saints tight end before the 2015 season.

Graham has fought through injury and being in a new system with a new team.  He has 22 receptions for 355 yards and one touchdown so far this season.  He is averaging better than 16-yards per reception.

Of course the struggles the Cardinals have had covering tight ends has been well documented over the years.  This could be a breakout game for the Wilson-Graham connection.

The Cardinals will need to contain Graham and keep him in front of the defense, not let him get behind it.  Also they will need to do an extraordinary job in focusing on tackling him.  He is a tough guy to bring down and the Cardinals have had difficulty tackling at times this season.
