In what is sure to be one of the must-watch games of Week 10, the Seattle Seahawks will take on the Green Bay Packers in a pivotal NFC showdown.

There are plenty of storylines heading into this duel between the Seahawks and Packers. For one, quarterback Russell Wilson will make his return to action as he was activated off of injured reserve on Friday. He has been sidelined due to a fractured finger injury in his right hand that he suffered during Seattle's Week 5 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Although he was initially provided with a six-to-eight-week timeline for when he would be available to come back from his injury, he has now made for quite a sudden return from injured reserve.

In the big picture, this matchup for the Seahawks surely is a must-win one for them. The NFC playoff picture is now becoming clearer and clearer by the week, and they can not afford to drop to a 3-6 record at this point in the campaign.

If the Seahawks aspire to come out of Lambeau Field with what would arguably be their biggest road win of the season, then they must achieve each of these four feats in the contest.

4. Dee Eskridge plays an X-factor in the game

There were plenty of expectations placed on rookie wideout Dee Eskridge ahead of the season to become a vital contributor in the Seahawks' passing attack. But over the opening half of the campaign, this has not yet panned out.

Eskridge has not featured for Seattle since the Week 1 road matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. He has been out of action due to a concussion, which later forced the team to place him on injured reserve.

The rookie wide receiver took part in the Seahawks' scheduled practice sessions this week and was later activated off of injured reserve on Friday. Barring any notable setback, he is slated to feature in Week 10 against the Packers.

While Eskridge may not go on to be a focal point of Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's game planning for the contest, he does have what it takes to be a game-changer due to his big-play ability. Whether in the open field or in the short passing game, the Packers secondary surely must keep a close watch on him when he is rolled out on the field.

3. Bobby Wagner records his seventh 10-plus tackles game of the season

Even amid the multiple injury issues that the Seahawks have had on defense, inside linebacker Bobby Wagner still remains as the most reliable player on this side of the ball for the team.

The veteran linebacker has not missed a single snap on defense this season; he has featured in all 607 of the team's defensive snaps. This is far from a surprise considering that he has logged at least 98 percent of snaps played on defense in six of his last seven seasons with Seattle.

For the moment, he leads the NFL in total tackles with an astounding 93 over eight games played in the campaign. The longtime Seahawks linebacker should once again add to his tackles tally in Week 10 by recording 10-plus tackles for what would be the seventh such performance of his season.

Packers running back Aaron Jones is sure to meet Wagner multiple times in Week 10.

2. Seahawks turn around their third down woes

The Seahawks have not had much go their way on third downs so far in the year. They currently boast a 31.3 percent third down conversion percentage, which ranks at 31st in the league.

In Wilson's absence, quarterback Geno Smith had somewhat formidable success in anchoring the Seahawks offense in key third downs due to his 68.1 completion percentage and 85.2 passer rating in such downs.

Fortunately for the Seahawks, they are set to meet a Packers defense that has had their fair share of struggles in clinching pivotal stops in third down situations. They have allowed a 41.6 conversion percentage on third downs so far this season.

Something has to give in this game, and look for the Seahawks to have a potent outing in converting crucial third downs over a drive-by-drive basis.

1. Russell Wilson leads the Seahawks to crucial road win

With Wilson on par to start for the Seahawks, look for him to guide them to a monumental road win in Week 10 against the Packers.

Wilson may not post a vintage performance considering that he is just coming off of a significant injury. But he should lead the team to pivotal red zone touchdown drives, which should be just enough to clinch the Seahawks a key road win.
