Seattle Seahawks didn’t quite pull off the blowout win they expected to

I made my predictions on Wednesday night: I said that this was Seattle’s game to lose, and only their extremely effective first twenty minutes of play time ensured tonight’s victory. Turns out going in arrogant can really mess a team up.

    • The game started off pretty much as any Seattle fans would expect it to. The Seahawks put themselves on the board with the 15-yard touchdown by Jermaine Kearse, but it wasn’t just the touchdown that put the defending Super Bowl champions up in fan’s eyes. Russell Wilson was miles ahead of Kirk Cousins, in every possible aspect.

    The half saw both teams putting up the kind of numbers indicative of the scoreboard- the Seahawks were doubling Washington in rushes and passing yards.

    The only significant problem with Seattle’s play tonight was the number of unnecessary flags they evoked. Two Seahawks touchdowns got recalled on penalties against the offense; if I saw one more false start from the Hawks, I was going to lose my mind.

    By the latter part of the third quarter, the Redskins began to put up a decent struggle. Those who speculated that the Washington team might pull off a win out of sheer desperation were dangerously close to being right- if the Seahawks hadn’t started off the game so strong, the game could have easily gone another way.

    The MVP of the game was clearly Russell Wilson. He absolutely dominated from start to finish, running for over 100 rushing yards before the clock ran out.

    Marshawn Lynch spent the better part of the game looking pretty mediocre, coming through in spurts (not counting when he let DeSean Jackson run half the field for the first Washington touchdown) to keep the game favoring Seattle.

    Speaking of DeSean Jackson- of all the mediocrity coming out of Washington, Jackson stood out above him teammates with 157 receiving yards during the game.

    A nod goes to Kirk Cousins for completing 283 passing yards. He decidedly looked like the weaker of the two quarterbacks, but he might be the best backup starter in the league right about now.
