Seattle Seahawks 24, San Diego Chargers 16
The Seattle Seahawks scored 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter last night to beat the Chargers. Seneca Wallace and a host of second year players led the charge. Wallace completed 17 of 25 passes for 191 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception. He also carried the football 5 times for 16 yards (3.2 ypc). Matt Hasselbeck started the game at QB and he looked sharp completing 4 of 5 passes for 65 yards and a TD. 2nd year running back Marquis Weeks looked good last night as he carried the ball 5 times for 37 yards (7.4 ypc) with a TD. Maurice Morris also looked pretty good carrying the ball 6 times for 26 yards (4.3 ypc). Second year wideouts Ben Obomanu (5 rec, 83 yards, TD) and Chris Jones (4 rec, 49 yards) were both outstanding last night. Veteran Deion Branch only caught one pass from Matt Hasselbeck but it was a 31 yard TD. The Seahawks ran the ball 28 times for 107 yards (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 30 passes for 255 yards.
The defense was in bend but don’t break mode but they didn’t look good despite only allowing 16 points. The Chargers ran the ball 22 times for 124 yards (5.6 ypc) and they completed 29 of 47 passes for 253 yards. It’s still early in the pre-season but the coaches have some work to do with the defense.
