Seahawks find some balance, toughness in win over Patriots
Not only did Seattle (6-2-1) force Tom Brady into his first interception this season , but it kept him without a passing touchdown for the first time in 2016 and denied the Patriots an opportunity to tie the game with a goal-line stand in the closing minute.
Wilson was sacked three times but passed for 348 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, completing passes to seven different receivers.
Seattle RB C.J. Prosise didn't get in the end zone Sunday, but his 17 carries for 66 yards and seven catches for 87 yards — both season highs — played a huge role in opening up the Seahawks offense.
Sharing carries with Christine Michael, Prosise helped sell play-action passes late in the game and made the Patriots defense account for an extra man in key situations.
Blount tied his career-high with three rushing touchdowns, scoring on a par of 1-yard runs and a 13-yard run.
The Patriots had a chance to tie the 1960 Cleveland Browns for an NFL-record nine games without an interception.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said ball security will be an emphasis this week after his team had three fumbles on Sunday.
The play set up Seattle's final score — a 15-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Doug Baldwin.
