"I'm truly astounded that this is what we looked like against this approach that they had," Seattle mentor Pete Carroll said. "I figured we could do a ton of stuff that simply didn't occur for us."
Seattle appeared to be ready for another of its late energizes after Wilson hit Chris Carson on a 28-yard TD pass with 6:09 left to pull inside 17-12, a drive kept alive by a key third-and-long protective holding punishment on New York.
However, McCoy made two major tosses on the Monsters' following drive, changing over a third-down with a pass to Evan Engram and hitting Darius Slayton for 14 yards into Seattle domain. New York in the end punted, yet the Monsters' safeguard came through.
"So great, man, feels better," Peppers said. "In any case, we realize we had the opportunity to continue stacking them. We realize that was an extraordinary group. We just played well."

It was Gallman's 60-yard run on a second-and-7 from the get-go in the second a large portion of that changed the force. Gallman got away through a group for the since quite a while ago run that set up Morris' 4-yard TD and a 8-5 Monsters lead.
