Seahawks Beat Eagles

      
                                         Russell Wilson Touchdown Catch Against Eagles

The Seattle Seahawks won their seven game of the season against two losses and a tie. They continue to be at the top of the NFC West division. They beat another bird at home in the same conference that will help them get into the playoffs. The Seahawks beat the Eagles in Seattle 26-15. Actually the game was not that close as the Eagles scored near the end of the game.

The Seahawks took the early lead with a seventy-five yard running touchdown by C. J. Prosise who later was injured in the game. The Eagles came back to take the lead 7-6 since the extra point was missed on the Prosise touchdown. The Seahawks had a play where receiver Doug Baldwin hit an open quarterback Russell Wilson for a touchdown. It was the first for both of them in the game. Wilson never caught a pass for a touchdown in his NFL Career and it was the first pass thrown by Baldwin. This shows us Seahawk fans that Wilson is now back to being pretty healthy.

According to Coach Carroll Prosise will be out for some time but may make it back before the end of the season. Also the touchdown showed us why Carroll and the coaching staff have such praise for Prosise.  Also running back Pope who was activated this week off the practice squad after being reacquired from being released by the New York Jets was injured in the game too. The Seahawks had to play the rest of the game with running back Thomas Rawls who was back for the first time. The fourth running back Alex Collins was not active for the game. He is expected to be active next week against Tampa Bay and the Seahawks will have to go out to find another running back too. Christine Michael who the Seahawks released on Tuesday was picked up by the Green Bay Packers who were in need of a running back themselves.

The Seahawks defense played a solid game against the Eagles especially after a slow start. The Eagles especially were not able to run the ball and the passing game was not particular good either. Next week against Tampa Bay Michael Bennett is expected back to anchor the defensive line.

With Rawls back the running game should be good against the Buccaneers along with help by Russell Wilson the Seahawks likely will rely on the passing game once again. The important thing is that the offense will allow the defense not stay on the field so much of the time like they have been for several weeks. Go Hawks!
