Seahawks Terrific Win is Costly

Hawks Playbook Podcast Episode 31 – Seahawks Terrific Win is Costly

Open: Hello again Seahawks fans and welcome to the show!

Featured Segment: Great Win Proves Very Costly

We don’t know exactly how costly just yet, but 4 key Seahawks players left the game with injuries, some rather significant. Most of which was an ankle injury to running back Chris Carson. Other injuries included CB Jeremy Lane (Groin), DE Cliff Avril (Neck) and LT Rees Odhiambo (Chest).

Key Takeaways:

Seattle finished with 477 yards and allowed just 237 yards to the Colts, including only 32 yards in the 2nd half.

Wilson finished 21-26 for 295 yards, 2TD’s and 2 Int. He ran 23 yards for a touchdown and finished the game with a 107.5 QB Rating.

Eddie Lacy finished with 11 carries and 52 yards. JD McKissic finished with a 30 yards TD run and a 27-yard TD reception. The Seahawks finished the game with 194 yards rushing.

Defense scored 2 TD’s from turnovers. Justin Coleman had a pick-6 and Bobby Wagner had a 21-yard fumble recovery return for a TD. 

Featured Segment 1:Los Angeles Rams 

Players to watch for: QB Jared Goff, RB Todd Gurley, DT Aaron Donald, WR Tavon Austin, WR Sammy Watkins, DE Robert Quinn.

The defense will once again be asked to stop the run and turn the Rams into a one-dimensional team led by an unproven talent in Jared Goff. Seattle should have the right stuff to hold the Rams under their season averages in yards and points. This game is all about Seattle’s ability to score points against the Rams defense.
