Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman each face four-game suspensions for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy.

Browner and Sherman are the starting cornerbacks for the Seattle Seahawks.

Both players will appeal the suspension, insisting they are innocent.

The Seattle Seahawks are using the zone-read option, as they try to maximize the abilities of Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.

"It really does call for very specific discipline for the defense," Pete Carroll said.

Oregon's Chip Kelly is particularly renowned for using the zone-read option and the Seahawks began practicing it in October.

"It's always been in the plans," Carroll said. "But we just needed to wait until we felt like it was time. It's worked out very well."

"I wouldn't call him a running quarterback but he has the ability to run," offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said of Wilson. "Then it just gives you another dimension. Any time you put the ball in front of Marshawn or any of our backs, they have to honor that."

The Seattle Seahawks remained undefeated at home, beating the New York Jets 28-7.

The Seahawks had a +17.4 advantage in The Trench Counter, gaining 5.4 yards per play compared to 3.7 for the Jets. Seattle had a +22 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Marshawn Lynch rushed 27 times for 124 yards and one touchdown.

Russell Wilson went 12-for-19 for 188 yards, two touchdowns and a lost fumble, while also gaining 34 yards on the ground. Sidney Rice caught just two balls, but both were for touchdowns.

Mark Sanchez went 9-for-22 for 124 yards, an interception and a lost fumble. 

The Jets' only touchdown was on a Muhammad Wilkerson fumble return.

The Seattle Seahawks improved to 4-0 at home with a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams now have a 5-4 record on the season.

The Seahawks had a +11.2 advantage in The Trench Counter, recording 12 more first downs and winning the turnover battle 2-0. Seattle had an edge of +24 in Total Rushes/Completions.

Russell Wilson went 16-for-24 for 173 yards and three touchdowns. Golden Tate caught two touchdowns, while Sidney Rice had one touchdown and 54 yards receiving.

Marshawn Lynch rushed 26 times for 124 yards and a touchdown.

Adrian Peterson was even better in a losing effort for the Vikings, rushing 17 times for 182 yards and two touchdowns.

But Christian Ponder went 11-for-22 for just 63 yards and an interception.
