Three impressions from the Seahawks’ 37-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night at CenturyLink Field:
Three in one
This was really three games in one – a seesaw battle into the second half, a surge by the Seahawks into a 17-point fourth-quarter lead, and then a furious comeback by the Vikings that put a major scare in Seattle before falling just short.
Out of nowhere, a tight game turned into a seeming rout in the second half on a Seahawks flurry of 24 points in the span of 10:29. It was set up by two huge defensive plays: A fumble recovery by Bradley McDougald after Rasheem Green stripped Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, and an interception by Tre Flowers.
