Flying High:Seattle Seahawks Franchise

Seattle's Woes Continue
Royal and Bailey Dominate Seahawks

@
31--61

Well Matt Hasselbeck herd the cries of TJ Houshmandzadeh but apparently so did Champ Bailey and the rest of the Broncos. Hasselbeck tried on numerous times to get his #1 receiver the ball but he was either picked off or Houshmandzadeh dropped it. Champ Bailey was all over TJ and intercepted Hasselbeck twice, both went for touchdowns. Houshmandzadeh finished with only 3 catches for 55 yards. That was the least of the Seahawks worries though as Denver dominated Seattle on all three phases of the game. Moreno rushed for over 120 yards with 1 touchdown, they sacked Hasselbeck 6 times and picked him off 4 times. They also forced 2 fumbles with 1 recovery. On special teams, Eddie Royal had 1 kickoff return for a touchdown (91 yards) and 1 punt return for a touchdown (88 yards) while Champ Bailey returned a kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown.

"They just outplayed us on every level. They out hustled us out muscled us and just dominated us. Matt (Hasselbeck) forced too many balls and Denver made him pay. Thankfully we have a bye week so we will be taking a close look at the tape and will make the needed adjustments." -Jim Mora said after the game

There were a few bright spots for Seattle in the loss. Michael Dash rushed for 129 yards with 1 touchdown. John Carlson and Deon Branch made some nice catches and each had a touchdown. Lawrence Jackson continues to get to the quarterback as he had 2 sacks. Finally David Hawthorne had a career day with 1 sack, 1 interception and 1 touchdown along with 6 tackles on the day.
