SEATTLE (AP) — When it left his foot, Blair Walsh thought his potential tying kick was good and the Seattle Seahawks were headed to overtime with the chance to erase a questionable decision from earlier in the game.
Walsh was wrong, putting an even greater emphasis on the special teams follies of the Seahawks in their 34-31 loss to Atlanta on Monday night. Walsh's 52-yard attempt in the final seconds fell a few feet short and left coach Pete Carroll to answer for a failed fake field goal just before halftime.
"I thought it was good. I don't know how much it missed by, but it's tough when you're not there for your team in a moment like that," Walsh said.
