Brees and Wilson focus of Saints' trip to Seattle
 

SEATTLE — In two seasons, Russell Wilson has made winning in Seattle impenetrable for opposing teams.

Since the day he became the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Wilson has never lost on his home field. That's 13 straight in the regular season. Going back even further, Wilson hasn't lost a home game since Oct. 2, 2010 when he was at North Carolina State and the Wolfpack lost to Virginia Tech. It's a streak of 23 games since Wilson has walked off his home field with a loss.
That string as Seahawks quarterback will get tested this week by one of Wilson's idols, New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees.

"There is no place like home. Playing here is a special moment," Wilson said. "It is one of those things that is a once in a lifetime thing you have to make sure you go to CenturyLink and watch a game. It really is something special."
Monday night is a rousing late-season matchup between the top two teams in the NFC when the 9-2 Saints visit the 10-1 Seahawks. It's a marquee prime-time showcase that could be an NFC championship game preview and eventually might determine who earns home-field advantage in the conference playoffs.

The home-field fight is one of many subplots:

—The teams are facing each other for the first time since the 2010 NFC divisional playoffs, when the Seahawks ended New Orleans' reign as Super Bowl champs with a surprising 41-36 upset capped by Marshawn Lynch's stunning tackle-shedding touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

—There's the Seahawks turmoil of the past week with the four-game suspension of starting cornerback Walter Thurmond for violation of the league's substance-abuse policy, and the potential suspension of injured cornerback Brandon Browner.

—And there's the Saints still seeking a validating road victory after losing at New England and the New York Jets earlier in the season.
But the most intriguing aspect is a pair of quarterbacks working successfully to break long-held stereotypes about the position they play: that they are too short.
