Third Quarter

Seattle got the football to start the second half. It was a nightmare start for the Seahawks. On second down, Russell Wilson tried to scramble out and was met by Von Miller, who strip sacked him. The ball traveled to the Seahawks four yard line, where a lineman picked it up. Seattle would face a long third down and just run it to punt the ball away.

Case Keenum and the Denver Broncos continue to drive. They are close enough to where a touchdown could put a lot of pressure on the Seahawks.

However, as Keenum attempted to slide for the first down, he got hit and fumbled the ball. Seattle got right on top of it. They were back in business at their own 19 yard line.

Seattle would chip away at yardage until they got to the red zone. On first and ten at the Denver 16 yard line, Wilson rolled out and found Jaron Brown right at the pylons for a touchdown. However, D.J. Fluker was called for offensive holding. That wiped out the touchdown.

Funny note, D.J. Fluker has been ruled out of the game on Sunday.

On the next play, Wilson once again found Brown. While he did not get the touchdown, he set up the Seahawks at the three yard line. But… Brown was penalized for illegal touching. That carried a loss of down.

Seattle would not get any closer and settled for another Sea Bass field goal. Denver’s lead has now been chipped to eight.

Denver gets the ball back. They need some kind of scoring play to prevent Seattle from knocking down the door. However, on the first play, Keenum throws deep and is intercepted by Donte Johnson. He would return it back to the Denver 46.

The quarter ends shortly after, with Denver hanging on to a 14-6 lead.
