Seahawks cool off high-flying Falcons
Print Edition
Russell Wilson tossed three touchdown passes and Seattle’s defense held the NFL’s No. 1 offense to a season low in points as the Seahawks upset the Philadelphia Eagles 24-10 on Sunday.
Wilson outgunned Eagles high-flying quarterback Carson Wentz and the Seahawks snapped Philadelphia’s winning streak at 10 games.
“We had to play great football,” said Wilson. “They are a great football team, well coached and great players.
“We had to come out strong and stay the course and then finish really strong. We responded really well. They would score and then we would come back and score. The guys played great all night.”
Seattle improved to 8-4 on the season and propelled itself back into playoff contention with the help of the Atlanta Falcons’ 9-14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings earlier on Sunday.
The Eagles (10-2) dropped into a tie for top seed in the NFC with the Vikings, who also have 10 wins.
In the NFC West race, the Seahawks remained a game behind the Los Angeles Rams (9-3), who beat the Arizona Cardinals 32-16 earlier in the day.
Wentz completed 29 of 45 throws for 348 yards, with one TD and one interception. Wilson hit 20 of 31 for 227 yards and threw scoring passes to tight end Jimmy Graham, Tyler Lockett and running back JD McKissic.
Elsewhere, it was: Patriots 23, Bills 3; Saints 31, Panthers 21; Chargers 19, Browns 10; Raiders 24, Giants 17; Jets 38, Chiefs 31; Packers 26, Buccaneers 20 (in OT); Titans 24, Texans 13; Ravens 44, Lions 20; Jaguars 30, Colts 10; Dolphins 35, Broncos 9; and 49ers 15, Bears 14.
