This one was over almost before it started.
Missing key players on both sides of the ball -- including free safety Earl Thomas, cornerback DeShawn Shead and center Justin Britt -- the Seattle Seahawks traveled to the Gulf Coast to take on quarterback Jameis Winston, wide receiver Mike Evans and the rest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a squad coming off an impressive road win over Kansas City last week.
Winston and Evans came out on fire, all but putting away the Seahawks in the first quarter, then holding on for the 14-5 victory.
"I thought that was a really good showing by Tampa Bay," head coach Pete Carroll said after the game.
