The Seahawks went three-and-out on the ensuing drive, with Geno Smith taking a terrible 3rd and 2 sack. They got the 2-point conversion through Mark Ingram. Not incredible? A 60-yard TD by Taysom Hill for a hat trick of rushing scores. And two plays later the Seahawks were in the end zone on a nice 69-yard touchdown run by rookie Kenneth Walker III! Incredible! 32-31 Seahawks. Then on a 4th and 3 it looked like Boye Mafe jumped offsides, but the officials ruled a false start on the right tackle. Just so many penalties against the Seahawks.

The Saints were seemingly ready to punt after getting stopped short on 3rd down, but a bailout holding penalty on Tariq Woolen gave them a fresh set of downs. No words other than “HOLY CRAP.” Seattle went for two for some reason and it was incomplete. Taysom Hill beat up Seattle running, so he decided to throw a 22-yard TD to Adam Trautman. Naturally, a big screen to Alvin Kamara got the Saints to Seattle’s 24. That took the Seahawks out of field goal range and they ended up punting.

TARIQ WOOLEN GETTING HIMSELF A PICK ON THE DAY AGAIN! Suddenly the Seahawks had a chance at points! Forget the field goal, how about a deep touchdown to Tyler Lockett? 19-17 Seahawks.

Coby Bryant then knocked the ball free from Alvin Kamara, and fellow rookie Tariq Woolen scooped it up before fumbling the return out of bounds. Just when it looked like the Saints would get into field goal range, a hands to the face penalty on James Hurst knocked them backwards. DK Metcalf dropped a tying touchdown on a beautiful throw by Geno. Seattle reached the red zone at the two-minute warning looking to tie things up. Will Dissly had a first-down catch, as did Noah Fant on a deep ball down the field on the run by Geno Smith. Trailing by a touchdown, the Seahawks finally opened up the passing offense and more specifically utilized the tight ends. Taysom Hill ran in his second TD of the game. Michael Dickson tried to run it and he lost the ball and the Saints recovered. Then another Seahawks three-and-out resulted in a uh. 10-10.Ī rare three-and-out by the Seahawks offense gave the Saints the ball right back, but an Al Woods sack helped lead to a three-and-out the other way. It was a Hill-heavy drive and he got the payoff. A 10-play, 69-yard drive that almost didn’t happen because of a Taysom Hill kickoff return fumble ended in an 8-yard Hill touchdown run. New Orleans didn’t need big explosive plays to score on their third possession. Jason Myers answered Lutz’s long kick with one of his own. The next play was a big Rashaad Penny run into Saints territory, but the drive fizzled out and they settled for a 56-yard field goal. 7-3 Seahawks.Īfter a Saints punt, the Seahawks were fortunate not to give the ball up right away on a dropped interception by Paulson Adebo. Geno Smith completed a 15-yard pass to Noah Fant for a first down, and then his next pass was an improvised throw on the run to DK Metcalf for a 50-yard touchdown. The Seahawks’ red-hot passing offense continued its success into the opening quarter of this game. Wil Lutz hit a 56-yard field goal to put the Saints on the board. Andy Dalton (and I guess Taysom Hill) led a 10-play, 41-yard drive that stalled out thanks to a 3rd down pass breakup by Coby Bryant. If you’re like me, you had a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach. Seattle won the coin toss and put the Saints offense on the field first. And special teams certainly contributed to this failure to win a very winnable game. If not for Geno and this offense, the Seahawks might be the worst team in the NFL. Seattle was just 1/9 on 3rd down while the Saints were 8/13 on their 3rd downs. Taysom Hill rushed for over 100 yards, 3 touchdowns, and threw for another.

The “almost” is because Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen continue to make awesome plays. We’ll see a lot more of Walker considering the potential severe injury to Rashaad Penny. Geno Smith threw for three touchdowns, should’ve had four or five if not for a bad DK Metcalf drop and a questionable penalty on Charles Cross, while Kenneth Walker III had an electrifying first career touchdown. The defense is not good enough to stop Pop Warner offenses, and between that and some sketchy officiating that resulted in a 39-32 loss to the New Orleans Saints (2-3). The Seattle Seahawks (2-3) have an offense that is playing like a playoff-caliber team.
