Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts deliver first loss to Seahawks
By Corey Leahy
Coming into Week 5, the Seattle Seahawks were 4-0 and the Indianapolis Colts were 3-1. Heading to week 6, the Seahawks and Colts will both be 4-1; that’s because the Colts were able to knock off the unbeaten Seahawks.
Andrew Luck went 16 for 29 and had 229 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Russell Wilson had similar numbers, 15 for 31, 210 yards, two touchdowns and one pick.
Seattle clearly dominated the run game, as both Marshawn Lynch and Wilson each had 102 rushing yards, but neither had touchdowns. For the Colts, the rushes were split between Trent Richardson and Donald Brown, who had 18 and six carries respectively. However, Brown had the deciding touchdown that put the Colts ahead of the Seahawks.
Indianapolis trailed 12-0 early, but was obviously able to bounce back to ultimately get the win at home.
One of the key moments of the game was when Delano Howell scored a touchdown off of a blocked field goal in the second quarter.
This is the first time the Seattle Seahawks lost in the regular season since November 25 of last year.
The Colts will travel to Qualcomm Stadium to play the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, while the Seahawks will be at home when they take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
