Question

Minnesota and Seattle play Monday night. Who are the only two players who have had seasons with at least 7 TD catches for both of these franchises?

Answer

Nate Burleson and Sidney Rice. Burleson caught 9 TDs for Minnesota in 2004. Seattle signed him to a free-agent deal in 2006, and he caught 9 TDs the next year. Sidney Rice caught 8 TDs for the Vikings in 2009. Seattle signed him to a free-agent deal in 2012, and he caught 7 TDs the next year. When the Seahawks began play in 1976, one of its starting wide receivers was Sam McCullum -- plucked from Minnesota in the expansion draft. In 2013, Seattle put together a trade package involving a first-round pick to obtain Percy Harvin from the Vikings.
