Truth be told, the Seahawks had a little help on Monday night from their opponents. To recap, the Broncos committed 12 penalties, costing themselves 106 yards in the process. They also fumbled twice at Seattle’s goal line and finished off by choosing to kick a 64-yard field goal rather than trusting their $245 million star quarterback.
That said, the Seahawks made the plays they had to make – just enough to escape with a one-point win, anyway. One of the bigger moments came when linebacker Cody Barton shut down a screen pass by Denver that could have changed the outcome. ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky calls it the reason why they won the game. Watch.
