Good afternoon, 12s. Here's a look at what's out there today — Monday, October 30 — about your Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle prevails 24-20 over the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, extending their win streak to two games.
The Seahawks won their third straight game at Lumen Field, willing themselves to a 24-20 comeback victory over the Browns on Sunday. In a game that challenged both offense and defense to fight through adversity, Seattle rose to the test - and ended the evening in first place in the NFC West.
Late in the fourth, safety Jamal Adams deflected a pass from Browns quarterback P.J. Walker with his helmet, as fellow safety Julian Love intercepted the ball. The turnover would make way for a two-minute drill, with quarterback Geno Smith finding rookie wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba with just 40 seconds remaining. Smith overcame two interceptions and going scoreless in the second and third quarters, while the defense bounced back from 13 unanswered points to hold the Browns scoreless in the fourth.
Seattle's defense created three turnovers Sunday, with cornerback Riq Woolen nabbing his first pick of the year and linebacker Jordyn Brooks forcing a fumble. Second-year linebacker Boye Mafe recorded sack No. 5, extending his streak to five-consecutive games with a sack.
Following the win, Coach Pete Carroll reflected on showing up at home and leading the division.
"What week in the season?" said Carroll. "Week eight? Okay, so we're not quite halfway through the 17-game thing that nobody can ever get to halftime here. Halfway through, we're in pretty good shape. That's good. We're still growing. We got out of this game. I have no names for you as far as guys getting banged up, which is incredibly good. We just need to keep growing. It just felt like that. I know maybe that gets old to you hearing it, but when you do another one and another one another one, you're getting better. It's hard to stack games. I'm thrilled that we've played – got three wins in a row here at home. I love that. If you're going to have a good season, you've got to play well at home. And so we've been living with that and really trying to use it as a battle cry that we got to play well here at Lumen. So we're rolling right now and halfway."
The 5-2 Seahawks head east this week, as they prepare to face the 6-2 Baltimore Ravens.
