No sequence summed up the dominance of the Seattle Seahawks offense over the shorthanded Vikings defense last month better than the third-quarter touchdown drive that made the score 35-0.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson ripped through the defense on a 53-yard read-option run, but the touchdown was called back because of a holding penalty downfield by a tight end. No matter. On the very next play, Wilson tossed a 53-yard touchdown pass over the Vikings’ heads to wide receiver Doug Baldwin.
Whatever the Seahawks tried that afternoon seemed to work in their 38-7 victory at TCF Bank Stadium.
