REDSKINS EDGE OUT SEAHAWKS IN CLOSE ENCOUNTER
The Washington Redskins continued their near perfect season with a 31-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. The Redskins didn't have all their own way however, as Seattle had an answer to everything that was thrown at them as they stopped the run effectively in the first 3 quarters and their secondary caused Washington's receivers a lot of problems. On the other side of the ball, Seattle were consistent, as they found a nice balance between throwing and running the ball. Quarterback Jake Way had a good game despite throwing three interceptions. Those interceptions were through rookie error under pressure and nothing else. Way's opposite number, Price Walters had a quiet game only throwing 31 times for 19 completions as Washington favoured the run. Walters picked out the right pass at the right time. Despite this, the Seahawks' secondary will be kicking themselves as numerous passes from Walters should have been picked off.
