Seahawks End Losing Streak

The Seahawks  needed a victory  Monday 
night at home against the Philadelphia 
Eagles to keep  any chance to  make the 
playoffs. The Seahawks were on a four
game-losing streak. 

The Eagles  were coming into the game 
like it was a must-game as well.  Though
they had three losses on the season they
were on a two-game losing streak which 
now is three. The Eagles had two long 
drives in the first half. The first went for 
a touchdown as quarterback  Jalen Hurts 
went in on a run.  

The Eagles second score was a field goal 
in the second  quarter  after a bend don't 
break defense.  The Seahawks  showed on
the night they need improvement stopping
the run. The Eagles  ran for 178 yards while
Seahawks had 100. 
The Seahawks scored late in the first half.
Though it would have been nice to have a
touchdown they settled for a field. Though
the Eagles  had a chance with less than
two minutes remaining to score again they 
couldn't. 
The Seahawks  had the ball to lead off the
second half. The Seahawks were able to
tie the game on the first drive ending with
a Ken Walker  touchdown 10-10. The Eagles
were able to return the favor on their first
drive of the second half which turned out
to be their last score of the game. 
The Seahawks kicked a field goal at the ten
minute mark to make it 17- 13.  DK Metcalf 
caught a pass to  setup the final touchdown 
of the game and the win. Metcalf had 5 catches 
in the game to lead the Seahawks though no 
touchdowns.  Jaxon Smith-Njiba  caught the
final td with 28 seconds remaining  in  the  game.
Safety  Julian Love had two interceptions  in 
the 4th quarter to  he.lp out  to nail the victory 
to. 
I am sure most fans believe Drew Lock should 
start  next Sunday against the Tennessee Titans 
on the road. The Seahawks record is now 7-7.
There are several teams in the NFC with the same
record so the Seahawks need to win all three
games to make the playoffs.  The remaining 
three games are against teams with losing records.
See what happens.  Go Hawks!
