It could be even emptier for next week’s home finale against Detroit in a truly meaningless game for both teams - aside from those fans who may show up knowing this may be the final chance the grouping of Carroll, Wilson and Wagner are all together in a Seattle uniform. The snowstorm that hit the Seattle area in the early hours of Sunday left plenty of empty seats inside Lumen Field, one of the sparsest crowds in recent memory. "And then obviously the situation happens where we don’t end up making it, but I was trying to play ball like I know how to do and always do and try to move around and just try to see if we can find a touchdown there." "I think that the risk-reward trying to score a touchdown, we’ve done it so many times, we’ve hit Tyler and other guys, and unfortunately we weren’t able to make that play," Wilson said. The lost yardage made for a 39-yard chip shot field-goal attempt for Jason Myers, who pulled it wide left for his sixth miss of the season and his second inside 40 yards. There were also some baffling moves, like Metcalf having just one target in the second half and Wilson taking a costly sack midway through the fourth quarter with Seattle inside the Chicago 10 and holding a 24-17 lead. There was some good in his performance, including a 41-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf in the first quarter, his first TD reception since Oct. Wilson finished 16 of 27 for 181 yards and two touchdowns.
"That’s one thing coach preaches every day." I mean, during the season we’ve had close losses and it’s all about finishing," said Rashaad Penny, who rushed for 135 yards and a TD. On their final series, the Seahawks committed three penalties and Wilson’s fourth-down pass attempt to Tyler Lockett was incomplete. "We had the opportunity to win this football game and didn’t do it."Īfter Nick Foles hit one-time Seattle tight end Jimmy Graham on a 15-yard touchdown with 1:01 remaining and the ensuing 2-point conversion to Damiere Byrd gave Chicago the lead, there was no last-second rally engineered by Russell Wilson like in past seasons.
The last time the Seahawks finished last in their division was the AFC West in 1996. Seattle will finish in last place in the NFC West for the first time since moving to the NFC in 2002.
