Special Teams: Dan Bailey made one of two field goals Sunday and hit on all four extra points. Bailey is now 4-for-6 on field goals in 2020, and has made all eight extra point attempts.

K.J. Osborn had 40 yards on two kickoff returns, plus a 6-yard punt return.
The Vikings notched their first special teams turnover of 2020 against the Texans as Mike Boone forced — and Dan Chisena recovered — a fumble on a punt return. The turnover led to Bailey's lone field goal Sunday.
Seahawks kicker Jason Meyers made a 55-yard field goal, plus all three extra points Sunday. He is now 2-for-2 on field goals in 2020, and has made all 18 extra point attempts.
Michael Dickson punted twice against the Dolphins, averaging 46.0 yards with a long of 58. He's averaging 50.9 yards per attempt.
Homer handles kickoff return duties for the Seahawks, while David Moore fields punts. Homer is averaging 23.0 yards on eight returns, while Moore has three punt returns for 35 yards.
Stopping the streak
As mentioned above, the Vikings are in the midst of a six-game losing streak to the Seahawks since 2012, the year Wilson was drafted.
And of the five regular-season matchups between the teams, four have been in Seattle, with the past two meetings in 2018 and 2019 occurring on Monday Night Football.
Minnesota's 37-30 loss at CenturyLink Field in 2019 was the narrowest margin of defeat for the Vikings against Wilson in the regular season.
Seattle eeked out a 10-9 win on Jan. 10, 2016, in the only postseason meeting ever between the franchises.
