Even by Seattle Seahawks standards, that was an improbable win.
To get picked off near midfield with 5:38 to go was not a death blow, but they were in the unenviable position of never touching the ball on offense again. Maybe win probability doesn’t take into account how some teams like the Seahawks just find ways to prevail even in the bleakest of situations. It took one 4th down stop and two 4th down conversions for Seattle to stun the Minnesota Vikings and get their first 5-0 start in franchise history.
Winners and Losers is late because I did the post-game podcast, but it is nevertheless wrapped up and ready for your Monday evening.
