Seattle Seahawks

The Hawks went in to this one on the back of the rarest of results, a loss, had the chance to bounce back against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.  The last time these two teams met of course was early February this year in New Jersey when Seattle crushed the Broncos to win their first Super Bowl trophy.  This time seemed like a comfortable Seahawks win for most of the game, but Manning had a chance to save the game late on in the last minute, which is exactly what he did.  It seemed Manning might have figured out the Seahawks at last as he drove Denver down the field and converted the two point conversion to tie it up.

Seattle is a confident offensive team  led by Russell Wilson and they were able to move down the field in overtime and claim the win.  The NFL is league that many people say theres no such thing as moral victories. But for Denver this game did wonders for their confidence should they come up against Seattle again later in the year.
