CINCINNATI (AP) — A Seahawks team known for closing 'em out is having trouble in the final moments.
Andy Dalton led the Cincinnati Bengals from a 17-point deficit to a 27-24 overtime victory on Sunday, a collapse that matched the biggest in Seattle's history. It was as mystifying as it was historic.
The two-time defending NFC champions are known for not letting leads slip away at the end.
"That's why I'm baffled a little bit," coach Pete Carroll said. "What's startling is that it's not happening. We've had to be terrific in this mode for years to be able to do what we've done.
