| In a defensive battle, the Seahawks defense won. They sacked Matt Schaub five times and Richard Sherman left his shoe behind while returning this interception for a score late in the fourth quarter. |

In a game that lived up to the hype, the Seattle Seahawks
prevailed against the Houston Texans on the road in comeback fashion.
The Seahawks trailed by as many as 17 points, were down 14
points to start the fourth quarter. But, as they did many times last season,
they came back due to some timely defensive plays. Down 7 with less than three
minutes to go, Richard Sherman intercepted a Matt Schaub pass and returned it
for a touchdown.
The game went into overtime and after a few good defensive
possessions by both teams, Steven Hauschka nailed a 45-yard field goal to win
it.
This is a huge win for the Seahawks as many questioned if
they can beat good teams on the road. Seattle is almost unstoppable at home but
this big road win should be enough to show that they are a legit contender and
possibly the best team in the NFL. This win also keeps the Seahawks two games
ahead of San Francisco in the NFC West even though it is still early.
Houston is still showing how inconsistent they can be. Their
offense couldn’t put the game away in the fourth quarter and they have yet to
have a great performance this season, as their wins have been very close. If
they can’t get it together soon, look for the Colts or even the Titans to
challenge them later in the season for the AFC South crown.
Final Score:
Seattle Seahawks – 23
Houston Texans – 20 (OT)
