Seahawks Make Comeback However Fall Short

The Seattle Seahawks had another exciting game on Sunday against the Jaguars in Jacksonville, Florida however this time they lost 30-24.

The Jaguars had a 27-10 lead in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks scored two touchdowns including a throw from Russell Wilson to a wide open Tyler Lockett late in the game to make the final score 30-24. The Seahawks had another opportunity that could have put them ahead by one point after they stopped the Jaguars on three downs but Wilson threw an interception to give them the victory.

In the third quarter the Seahawks lost two linebackers Bobby Wagner to a hamstring and he isn’t expected to play again the Rams next Sunday afternoon in Seattle and K.J. Wright to a concussion. The Seahawks are expecting Wright to play though. With three pro bowlers out it will be interesting game that the Seahawks need to win. The winner between the Rams and the Seahawks should win the division. The Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles to give the Seahawks any chance to win the division. The Seahawks now have a record of 8-5 and can go 11-5 if they win all three of their remaining games. The Seahawks lose to the Rams they still might make the playoffs as a wildcard however it will make it real difficult for them to make it to the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks running game continued to be trouble though Mike Davis a few good runs along with Russell Wilson but this team has become primarily a passing team. This has made what continues to the play of Wilson being extraordinary because he has to pass the run on many occasions. Again the Seahawks struggled in the first half though they were still in the game. They were down 3-0 at half-time though kicker Walsh continued to have trouble kicking field goals missing one before half time. According to Coach Carroll he is still on the team for another week anyway.

At this point Mike Davis is the primary running back for the Seahawks. They were hoping that rookie Chris Carson would be back soon however he had a setback because he turned his ankle. I am familiar with that since I did the same thing almost two weeks ago and I am still trying to recover. It looks right now that Carson could be out until the playoffs if then.

The ending of the game in the last minute or so the Seahawks were involved in a couple fights that led to ejections first of defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson and then defensive end Quinton Jefferson who ended up getting into arguments with Jaguar fans. Both Richardson and Jefferson could be suspended along with being fined for the game against the Rams. Also Michael Bennett who looked like starting the first altercation however didn’t get tossed out of the game could be fined and suspended as well. We may find out the news sometime this week which could make next week’s harder to win. With Cliff Avril already out losing three defensive linemen could make it difficult to win. If they are not suspended they will likely face high fines though. Anyway the news coming out this week on the Seahawks should be interesting to say the least.

The Seattle Mariners brass is at the winter games and more about that will be forthcoming. We hope that the Mariners can come up with a pitcher or two this week. We wish them the best well as the Seahawks so go teams!!
