It’s never boring when the Seahawks and Patriots play, and for the fourth time in as many games between these two franchises since 2012, Sunday night’s game came down to the wire, with the Seahawks barely hanging on for a 35-30 win.
The Seahawks looked to have the game in control after Russell Wilson hit Chris Carson with his fifth touchdown pass of the game to give Seattle a 12-point lead, but the Patriots answered with a touchdown of their own, got a stop, then drove down the field all the way to Seattle’s 1-yard line, setting up a final play that would decide the game—if you’ll recall, the 2016 meeting between these teams also came down to Seattle needing, and getting, a final stop at the goal line.
Cam Newton, who had been nearly unstoppable in short-yardage situations all game, including two 1-yard touchdown runs, tried for a third touchdown that would win the game, but L.J. Collier shot into the backfield and undercut Newton, Lano Hill was able to take out the fullback, and swarm of other Seahawks came in to finish things off and kick off the celebration in the north end zone.
Here are six rapid reaction to a thrilling win that improved Seattle’s record to 2-0.
