Of course Earl Thomas skips practices, faces a team fine, stays angry—and balls out on game day.
Of course he did.
Thomas had two interceptions against his home-state team he famously asked in December to “come get me when Seattle kicks me to the curb.” His latter one, off a deflection by fellow All-Pro teammate Bobby Wagner, ended Dallas’ last attempt at rallying in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks’ first win this season, a 24-13 reviver over the Cowboys in the home opener at sunny-again CenturyLink Field.
After weeks of mysteriously refusing to call running plays, the Seahawks finally did what they’ve been saying since January they would do in 2018: return to the run.
