The Seattle Seahawks kicked off their preseason with a win against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. After a slow start, the Seahawks were able to rally and come away with a 21-20 victory.
The Seahawks offense struggled early on, as they were held scoreless in the first quarter. However, the team was able to turn things around in the second quarter, as quarterback Russell Wilson led the team to two touchdown drives. Wilson finished the game with 14 completions on 19 attempts for 157 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seahawks defense also stepped up in the second half, as they held the Vikings to just three points in the second half. The defense was led by linebacker Bobby Wagner, who had seven tackles and two sacks. The defense also forced two turnovers, including an interception by safety Tedric Thompson.
The Seahawks offense was able to put the game away late in the fourth quarter, as running back Chris Carson scored a touchdown to give the team a 21-13 lead. The Vikings were able to score a late touchdown, but it was not enough to overcome the Seahawks’ lead.
The Seahawks’ win was a good start to the preseason for the team, as they look to build on their success from last season. With a strong defense and an offense led by Wilson, the Seahawks should be a force to be reckoned with this season. The team will now look to build on their win against the Vikings as they prepare for their next preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
