The Seattle Seahawks are leading the Carolina Panthers by a 20-7 score in the third quarter at CenturyLink Field, with the most recent touchdown being one heck of a highlight.
Leading 10-7 in the early stages of the second half, Seattle decided to go for broke on a flea-flicker. Quarterback Russell Wilson handed off to Marshawn Lynch, who took a few steps to his right and pitched it back to Wilson. The Super Bowl champthen launched a pass to the back of the end zone, finding Ricardo Lockette for a glorious touchdown.

Seattle is 2-3 and desperately trying to get back into the NFC West race. The good news? The St. Louis Rams have a BYE week and the Arizona Cardinals were upset on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Should the Seahawks win, Seattle will be within one game of the division lead.
The biggest problems have been the offensive line and the lack of a running game with Lynch missing the last few games. Seattle has not been able to do much offensively, although it is finally getting something going against the Panthers.
With the return of Kam Chancellor, the defense is going to be great. If the offense can find itself, look out.
