ARLINGTON, Texas On Christmas Eve, when they absolutely had to be, the Seahawks were lit.
On defense. On point.
Justin Coleman picked off the key pass. He scored the touchdown that gave the Seahawks the lead they had to have. Then he jumped into the Salvation Army kettle behind the end zone. Frank Clark pounded the prop to punctuate Coleman’s sparking, saving play.
A ringing Merry Christmas to you, too.

Coleman’s interception and 30-yard return for the score early in the second half and celebration into a giant, red Salvation Army kettle for holiday giving behind the end zone put Seattle ahead14-9--despite its sputtering (again) offense having just 53 total yards at that point into the third quarter.
