ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Seattle Seahawks are still alive for a playoff berth. They have their defense to thank for that.
A week after their most lopsided loss of the Pete Carroll era, the Seahawks looked more like the Seahawks on Sunday. They struggled on offense in the first half -- producing all of 44 net yards through two quarters -- but forced three turnovers on defense to pull away for a 21-12 win over the Dallas Cowboys in what was an elimination game for both teams.
All hope seemed to be lost for the Seahawks after they were hammered 42-7 last week by the Rams.
