The Seahawks beat San Francisco using a familiar script - the defense held down the fort while the offense figured things out.
For what seemed like the umpteenth time in the last two seasons, the Seahawks defense came through for the misfiring offense Sunday in its home opener at CenturyLink Field.
With the Seahawks offense struggling for most of the game against San Francisco, the Seahawks’ defense kept the score low enough to give its offense a chance to work out its kinks.
This finally happened in the fourth quarter, when quarterback Russell Wilson capped a 10-play 82-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Paul Richardson that put Seattle up 12-9.
