The Seattle Seahawks’ defense lost in sunday night’s last quarter, but the unit’s ultimatley was not interrupted.
It seemed that Cam Newton would take the New England Patriots on an exciting comeback at CenturyLink Field. A 2:16 Newton landing for playing at the end of the game reduced Seattle’s lead to 35-30, and in the blink of an eye, the Patriots found the the most in the red zone back with the chance to win the game.
It all came down to a New England first and a purpose on the one-meter line with 3 seconds to play. The Patriots turned to a game that proved effective at the start of the season: Newton’s quarterback force to the left side. But the Seahawks were in a position for that, and sophomore lineman LJCollier played the game while crossing the trenches, knocking Newton out and sealing a win for Seattle.
Jamal Adams made sure the Patriots’ new quarterback would use his legs to win the visitors’ game. So confident, in fact, that stellar protection had originally planned to take flight to the backfield. England lined up, Adams reassessed his approach.
“Honestly, you know how crazy, ” I said to KJ (Wright), I said, “Hey, I’m about to jump on it,” Adams told Seahawks. com. He looked at me, said, ‘Right now, are you sure?’ I said, ‘Yes, I’m sure. ‘As soon as they went out for training, I said, ‘KJ, no, no, no, cancel, cancel. ‘I also knew the ball well, so I didn’t need to make a mistake and jeopardize the team. What a move not only through LJ, but also through Bobthrough (Wagner) descending this back, the total line being penetrated.
“What a defensive position, man, is a big change from Cam and prevents him before the line of purpose. Obviously, I’m excited, it’s my first win against the Patriots, so it’s pretty exciting, man. I’m extremely happy, to be here. “
The Seahawks will want their defense to depend on the impressive position at the end of the game as they move on to week three. Seattle will meet the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday.
