Seattle Seahawks 9, Minnesota Vikings 35
The Seattle Seahawks (3-7) held the Minnesota Vikings (9-1) scoreless in the first quarter, but the Vikings’ offense figured things out quick and put up 21 points in the second quarter. There wasn’t much the Seahawks defense did well on Sunday, as Brett Favre had a huge day at quarterback and the Vikings’ running backs ran all over the place. Favre completed 22/25 passes for 213 yards and 4 touchdowns. Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor combined for 155 yards on 35 carries. The Seahawks defense looked lost out there and Favre took advantage of that. David Hawthorne was the only one who really came to play for the Hawks’ defense, getting 15 total tackles, including 11 solo tackles.
The Seahawks offense was not much better than their defense. They had 2 turnovers and Matt Hasselbeck failed to find the endzone. Hasselbeck threw for 231 yards on 19/26 passes, but had an interception. They didn’t put any points up until the end of the third quarter when Olindo Mare hit a 40-yard field goal. They finally got a touchdown with 8 minutes left in the game when Justin Forsett ran it in from the 1-yard line, but the game was already over by then. The Seahawks were completely over-matched in this contest.
