Second half domination by Seattle

The Indianapolis Colts coming off their first win of the season went to the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are coming off a disappointing loss to the Tennessee Titans on the road last week. Who will come out on top at CenturyLink Field in Seattle? Let's find out. The Colts would start with the ball and faced a third and 6 and Jacoby Brisett went to TY Hilton would go for 11. That's all they would muster as the Colts would punt. The Seahawks would face a third and 8 and Russell Wilson would find Doug Baldwin for 27 yards. The Seahawks would only muster a field goal as Seattle would lead 3-0. Brissett would find Brandon Williams for 32 yards on second and 6. The Colts couldn't muster anything else and would punt the ball again and would down it at the one yard line. On third and 5, Wilson would get sacked in the end zone and would result in a safety. The play initially was ruled incomplete but after review, Wilson's knee was down and ruled a safety and made it 3-2 in favor of Seattle. The Seahawks defense would get a three and out. The first quarter would come to an end with a 3-2 Seahawks lead. They would face a third and 18 and Wilson would go to Tyler Lockett but was five yards short of the first and would punt the ball again. On a third and 4, Brissett's pass would be picked by Justin Coleman and returned 28 yards for a touchdown. The PAT would make it 10-2 with 12:32 remaining in the second period. On the next Colts possession, Brissett would find Gore for 19 yards. They would face a third and 8 but a holding penalty on Seattle would get an automatic first down. Brisett would go to TY Hilton for 13 yards on third and 13. Brisett would go for 25 yards on second and 7. The drive would result in a one yard touchdown run from Robert Turbin. The two point conversion would miss and the Colts would still Trail 10-8. The next Seattle Drive would result in a Matthias Fairley interception. The drive would result in a touchdown pass from Brisett to Donte Moncrief to give the Colts a 15-10 lead with 25 seconds left. The Seahawks would drive and give Blair Walsh a chance at a 37 yard field goal and would miss right to keep it 15-10 at halftime. The Seahawks would get the ball to start the second half and the offense would drive down the field and Russell Wilson would score from 23 yards out. They would go for two and get it and the Seahawks would lead 18-15. The defense would force a three and out. The next Seattle possession would result in a Colts interception by Malik Hooker. The Colts would tie the game on a 40 yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri. The Seahawks would end up taking the lead for good as JD McKissic would score from 30 yards out. The PAT would make it 25-18 in the third quarter. The Seahawks would force a fumble and would be recovered by Bobby Wagner and returned 21 yards for a touchdown. The Seahawks would make it 32-18 with 2:09 remaining in the third. The third would end with the Seahawks holding a 32-18 lead and Seattle would score two more times to give the Seahawks the victory 46-18. 


Thoughts on the game: The Seahawks just went off in the second half. They started the second half with a score and seemed to never look back. It was tied in the third but they went right away and took the lead. The Seahawks look like if they play like they did in the second half, they might be the best team in the NFC West.
