After a missed 29-yard field goal and then a blocked extra point that had the Seahawks in danger of a shocking loss, Steven Hauschka was hoping for just one more shot.
“That’s what I wanted,” he said. “I always want that, but especially if some plays don’t really go your way earlier in the game, you really want that redemption.”
Hauschka got it when he was called on for a 44-yard field goal and Seattle trailing 24-23 as the two-minute warning neared. Hauschka hit it with 1:57 left to put Seattle ahead 26-24 and the Seahawks held on for one of the bigger roller-coaster wins in recent team history.
