Seahawks at Chiefs - Week 8 - Record: 4-3
What is this with the heart attack games? At one point we're ready to go up 30-14 with a chip-shot field goal, and the next thing you know their guy is running back the fumbled snap for a touchdown to get them right back in it.
Again, the question was, could we finish? I paid close attention to the defensive series we had after that ten point swing. Those series:
1st: We stuff their running game again, and they go three-and-out. Awright. On the day they got 47 yards rushing. Pretty good.
2nd: We stop them on third down, but a defensive holding call gives them a new set of downs. They then connect on a long TD pass play. Ergh.
3rd: This last Seattle shot comes right after we get a clutch score with the help of a 51 yard strike from Huard to Kennison and a two-point conversion catch by Gonzalez. There's an interception and fumble by Jared Allen in there that involves a referee review, but after a couple of modest Seattle gains we eventually stop them on 4th down.
Even though it was a heart attack game, you've got to think these crazy things have to keep us keyed. I'd like to think that we're going good establishing that capacity to finish, even as we've allowed these teams to get back in it as we have each of the past two weeks.
