Seahawks Edge Eagles at Lumen Field in Week 15 Showdown
The Seattle Seahawks, with a record of 7-7, hosted the Philadelphia Eagles, who came into the game with a 10-4 record. In a closely contested match at Lumen Field, the Seahawks emerged victorious with a final score of 20-17.
The Seattle crowd witnessed their team's balanced offensive and defensive efforts. The Seahawks' offense accumulated a total of 297 yards, with an average gain of five yards per play. The passing game contributed significantly to this effort as quarterback play resulted in a completion percentage of approximately 67 percent for 208 yards and one touchdown pass that went for an impressive 29-yard score. On the ground, the rushing attack was equally effective; they carried the ball for an average of over four yards per attempt totaling up to 100 rushing yards and scoring once on a notable 23-yard dash.
Special teams also played their part in securing victory; field goal kickers were perfect on the day making both attempts from within and beyond forty-nine yards. Additionally, kickoffs consistently pinned back Philadelphia as four out of five resulted in touchbacks.
Defensively, Seattle showed resilience by not allowing any sacks while recording two interceptions without conceding any return yardage on those turnovers. They forced three three-and-outs against Philadelphia's offense and defended six passes throughout the game while only missing three tackles—a testament to their tackling efficiency.
On penalties, discipline was maintained as only five infractions were committed for thirty-five penalty yards which did not significantly hinder their performance or momentum during crucial moments.
