The Seahawks finally punched it in tonight, with George Holani scoring on a 1-yard run, bringing our boys to within 14-11 of the Broncos on Thursday Night Football! It’s been a grind, but they’re making it a game, even if it feels like we left points on the field.
Darnold’s Scramble Ignites a Critical Drive
That first touchdown drive was exactly what we needed, showing some real grit from the offense. Our Hawks marched 67 yards in 11 plays, converting some absolutely massive downs to keep the momentum rolling. Sam Darnold wasn’t perfect, but he made some crucial plays. He hit Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a 7-yard pass to the Denver 32 on a gutsy fourth-and-4. Then, later, Darnold showed off his wheels, converting a third-and-10 with an 18-yard scramble that kept the chains moving. And that 2-point conversion? Darnold threw it up for grabs, and Rashid Shaheed went up and got it to pull us within three points. You love to see that fight!
Myers’ Missed Field Goal Keeps It a Three-Point Game
Even with that fantastic drive, it feels like we should be tied right now. Jason Myers missed a 47-yard field goal in the third quarter, pushing it just off the right upright. If that ball sails through, we’re looking at a completely different scoreboard. Darnold’s night so far has him at 20-of-38 for 195 yards, a solid effort but you know he’s looking for more. We’re fighting, no doubt about it, but those missed opportunities are killer.
Our Hawks are battling, making this a much tighter contest than it could have been. Every single snap from here on out is absolutely critical to close this 14-11 gap against the Broncos. Let’s get it done!
