Seahawks Squeak by Broncos

In Sunday night’s game against the Denver Broncos, the Seattle Seahawks to my amazement won 23-20. I say amazed because the Seahawks’ playing was so far from perfection, they couldn't have found it with a compass.

Seattle only made 12 first downs, 270 total yards, and went a dismal 3-of-16 on third-down conversions. The offense was stuck at flat line in the first half, when it amassed just 67 yards. They also squandered opportunities, throwing away a promising third quarter drive when quarterback Matt Hasselbeck committed the cardinal sin of throwing the ball in the direction of Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey.

Perhaps the football Gods were smiling on the Seahawks, a team that had experienced little luck with a devastating series of injuries earlier in the season.
