Mike Morris contributed significantly with his defensive prowess, recording three tackles and one tackle for loss.

Third Quarter

The third quarter saw Kenneth Walker shine in the rushing department. He carried the ball effectively with two touchdowns on his way to accumulating 38 rushing yards over sixteen attempts. His efforts helped extend Seattle's lead further as they continued to control possession.

Fourth Quarter
