Seahawks Defense Battered by Saints in 44-31 Defeat
Seattle - It was a rough day for the Seahawks defense on Sunday at CenturyLink Field. Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns, Alvin Kamara ran for 171 yards on the Seahawks defense, and to top it all off Seattle lost two major components on the defensive side of the ball in a 44-31 loss on Sunday. Bobby Wagner, and Bradley McDougald both went down with injuries and had to leave the game early on Sunday. The prognosis was not good for either after the game as they are both expected to miss multiple weeks with their ailments. That contributed to New Orleans putting up a whopping 544 yards on the Hawks. Russell Wilson also struggled mightily on Sunday throwing three interceptions, and even getting briefly knocked out of the game himself with a bruised shoulder. It was all contributed to a nightmare day that could have lasting implications on the season depending on the severity of Wagner, and McDougald's injuries. Seattle in the meantime will look to regroup when they head to Arizona next Sunday to take on the Cardinals. Kickoff for that game is set for 1:05 PM.
