Seahawks avenge Super Bowl 49 loss to the Patriots
Tom Brady didn’t throw a touchdown pass and was intercepted once. Return man Tyler Lockett, who New England tried to kick away from as best it could throughout the night, did have a nice 32-yard return on one kickoff. So I would have to say I appreciate what our fans did for us. Seriously, how f***ing cowardly do you have to be to show your support for a politician by displaying that politician’s paraphernalia, but then refuse to answer even the most benign follow question on the topic? They likely didn’t want to give the ball back to Russell Wilson, who had carved up the defense all night long. Chancellor appeared to have forced a fumble on Gronkowski on a similar play in the first half, but it was overturned upon review. “I actually got my hand on the ball that time – but he didn’t push me”.
Kam, a Norfolk, Virginia native, returned to play on November 13 after missing four games with a groin injury, per UPI.com, and he was playing like his old self. Of the real play, he said, “Great player throwing to a a great player, and a great guy covering him”.
“[Gronk] did the same exact route and we both fell and hit the ground”, Kam said.
The Seattle Seahawks flew across the country to beat the best team in the AFC on Sunday night, topping the New England Patriots 31-24 on the road.
Said Thomas: “It just felt good because of the situation. I’ve gotta admit, I haven’t had more fun just enjoying a win, really”, Carroll said. I wasn’t trying to make contact.
Gronk finished with three catches for 56 yards. Everyone is playing with bumps and bruises this time of year. I wasn’t trying to make contact.
“We’ve had our struggles, but fortunately enough we’ve been on the positive side of it”, Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said after the game. They have a lot of good players and they make you earn every yard.
The Seahawks and Patriots meet for the first time since Super Bowl XLIX, and bad news gets things a little Cagey, in this week’s “NFL of the Week”.
Belichick wouldn’t say whether Brady checked into the quarterback sneak after seeing what the defense was giving him. “Sometimes you get the call, sometimes you don’t”. Our execution on those plays could have been a lot better, and think that was the difference. “Great team. They have everything going for them – the best quarterback that’s ever played”. “It was the most aggressive that we’ve been, the most confident coming off the ball”. Yet Sunday’s was the Patriots’ fifth takeaway-free game, and marked the first time since 2005 that they’ve failed to force a turnover in consecutive contests. We had our chances. They made more plays than we did.
New England coach Bill Belichick later called it “an aggressive call”.
Or, in the end, the power of Seattle’s interior defense on the short runs by Blount or Brady, and Kam Chancellor’s tight coverage on Gronkowski on the final play. “I was going left and (center) David (Andrews) thought I was going straight”. He lined up all the advantages for the Pats, and his players knocked them all down.
Despite the shortcomings, defensive captain Devin McCourty said he’s confident they will be able to figure things out. “I mean, there was a lot of – there’s always a lot of contact with that team. That’s what we need to do”. It was similar to what we saw Sunday night between Belichick and Carroll.
