Seahawks Win Another Overtime

The Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers an important showdown on Monday Night Football in overtime 27-24.

The Seahawks played a terrible first quarter, not able to stop the passing game of the 49ers. Behind 10-0 at the end of the first quarter, I thought the game was over, however, I should have known better.

The 49ers had three turnovers that led to the Seahawks to go-ahead 21-10 heading into the 4th quarter. I figured the game was over because usually, the Seahawks do well in the  4th quarter my mistake again.  A fumble by the Seahawks led to a 49er touchdown followed by a field goal tied the game at 21-21. Each team had a field goal to end regulation. Mistakes on the 49er side led the Seahawks to win the game.

The fumble the 49ers recovered the announced mentioned what a great play it was. In a way they were right, but the Seahawks should have run the ball on second down. I thought they were a running team. Had the play been done on third down than I would say yes on a great play. A missed tackle by Bobby Wagner allowed the field goal as well  The Seahawks shot themselves in the foot where they should have won in regulation. At least they are good in close games and overtime. 

The Seahawks are now 8-2 a game behind the 49ers with a bye week coming up. Not only do they need to stop the mistakes along with poor pass defense. Obviously, the defensive backs are not close to being the legion of boom. The 49ers are good at the short and mid=range passing game.

I thought it was hilarious the national announcers saying "the run is setting up the pass for the 49ers". 

The Seahawks were stopping the run game but couldn't stop the pass especially on third down. Now we can relax and hope the Seahawks can improve for the next game against the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunda Night football.  Go Hawks!
