The past two weeks showed the Seattle Seahawks what they are capable of accomplishing. Seattle’s 37-23 win over the LA Chargers was the victory that validated the Seahawks are on the right path.
Kenneth Walker III rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns, Marquise Goodwin caught a pair of scores and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 37-23.
Seattle played it safe by choosing to kick a field goal on fourth down late in the third quarter. And the Seahawks likely paid the price for that decision in their 27-23 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Marcus Mariota and Geno Smith have been cast off and discarded by other teams in the past. Now, both are trying to prove they are more than just stopgap options for either the Atlanta Falcons or Seattle Seahawks.
The Atlanta Falcons know this is a rebuilding season, but would like to avoid facing another 0-3 start. That means Atlanta needs to find a way to win in Seattle on Sunday against the Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says safety Jamal Adams is still deciding on the best options to repair an injury to his quadriceps tendon suffered in the season opener against Denver.
Brandon McManus missed a 64-yard field goal attempt with 20 seconds left and the Seahawks escaped with another wild victory involving Wilson at quarterback.
Geno Smith could have gained an edge over Drew Lock for Seattle's starting quarterback job, but a sloppy performance by the Seahawks damped the mood in a 27-11 loss to the Chicago Bears.
