Seahawks at Patriots: 5 takeaways from Seattle unexpected win
By Keith Myers
2. The offensive line was better
Coming off what might have been their worst combined performance since Week 2, Seattle’s offensive line finally started showing some real improvement.
Well, improvement is relative. The group wasn’t their typical flaming garbage this week. Instead they were just normal garbage. Someone even bothered to pull out all the recyclables.
Jokes aside, the line did play better. They were far from perfect, but Wilson had time to throw on most plays and they finally opened some holes for the running game.
We always say that Wilson doesn’t need a great offensive line; he just needs an average one. This might be the first time that this group has been close to average all season.
The results speak for themselves. Seattle only punted twice, once in each half. They only went three-and-out once all game. When it was all over, they scored on 7 out of 10 possessions, and that includes the victory formation possession at the end of the game.
