After every Seattle Seahawks game, Pacific Northwest Sports presents our Dud and Stud of the week. Here are the Zeroes and Heroes of the Seahawks 23-17 Game 11 win over Philadelphia.
Every week the Seattle Seahawks play, Pacific Northwest Sports will present our Dud and Stud of the game. It’s a way to pay tribute to those who played well and call out the players who didn’t.
It was an ugly start to Monday Night Football in Philadelphia. In the first half, the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles combined for four punts and two turnovers on downs.
Two Seahawks failures highlighted the first quarter. Seattle couldn’t get the job done on a pair of fourth down attempts. Both were in enemy territory, and one was at the Philadelphia two-yard line. Toward the end of the second quarter, the Seahawks got their act together and got on the scoreboard… twice.
Their first TD was on a fade to David Moore while the second came via a 16-yard run by Chris Carson. These were Seattle’s only two touchdowns for the game.
The second half was more of a quagmire than the first. Seattle had five possessions that resulted in three Jason Myers field goals and two Michael Dickson punts. Seattle’s defense played tough throughout the night. It wasn’t until late in the game when the Seahawks played more of a prevent defense, that Philadelphia moved the ball with some consistency.
Overall this wasn’t the greatest game played, not even close. It was a kickers night. Seattle and Philly’s punters combined to boot the ball away eight times, with six coming in the first half. Their placekickers combined for four field goals. Defensive line play from both sides dominated.
What matters is that the Seahawks won and regained first place in the NFC West. Here are our Dud and Stud of the Week.
Oh, Chris Carson is BACK. #Seahawks @ccarson_32
