By Phil Watson
On a day when the Seattle Seahawks were shut out in the first half, Bruce Irvin got them some points against the St. Louis Rams.
The Seattle Seahawks struggled for a while with the St. Louis Rams with home-field advantage on the line, but got things going in the second half and secured the NFC’s top seed for the second straight season.
The Rams led 6-0 at the half and it was a 6-6 game after three quarters, but the Seahawks finally took the lead on a 9-yard run by Marshawn Lynch early in the fourth period.
A little more than two minutes later, Bruce Irvin delivered the knockout punch for Seattle in their 20-6 victory.
He grabbed a pass that Bobby Wagner knocked away from Rams’ tight end Lance Kendricks and streaked 49 yards to the end zone.
