There have been numerous connections between the Vikings and Seahawks over the years, starting with a trade between the franchises in Seattle's inaugural 1976 season.
There's also quite a coincidence these days with "Voice of the Vikings" Paul Allen and Seahawks Owner Paul G. Allen sharing the same first and last names.
Both men work in the NFL, but there are contrasts. The chart below illustrates a few:
