Seahawks take the Super Bowl preview

This is the match up that everyone is talking about, Super Bowl XLVIII preveiw! The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks, two teams that not only have both a great offense and defense but two quarterbacks who are in the Top 10 according to ESPN. Even though its just a preseason game, Russell Wilson looked at it in a different way; he looked at this game as being in New Jersey in February already and so did the rest of the Seahawks. 

The Seahawks defense shut down Peyton Manning on the first drive of the game, making the Broncos go three and out. On the first drive by the Seahawks the 12th Man was heard loud and proud as Russell Wilson completed a 9 yard pass to Golden Tate, after a holding penalty on Russell Okung Wilson came back and connected with Doug Baldwin for 16 yards and a Seahawks first down. Robert Turbin helped out the Hawks by running 20 yards on their first drive on three carries, after a false start call on the Seahawks Wilson threw a bullet to UW alumni Jermaine Kearse for the touchdown. The Broncos didnt go three and out on their second drive instead after what looked like a 20 yard gain pass turned into a turnover as Brandon Browner forced the fumble and Kam Cancellor recovered it. 

The Seahawks came right back on their second drive and scored, not a touchdown but hey a Steve Hauschka is better then nothing right? Peyton came back on the field and thanks to him telling his offense to hurry up he was able to connect to Wes Welker for an 11 yard touchdown and so the Super Bowl XLVIII preseason match-up was now 10-7. The Broncos were looking to hold Wilson and the high powered Seahawks offense and have them go three and out, but Jermaine Kearse had another idea that the Broncos didn't see coming. Try a 107 kick return for a touchdown for an idea? Kearse showed not only the Broncos but Sportcenter on why the Seahawks dont need Percy Harvin to score. 

Brandon Browner ruined a great drive by the Broncos in the second quarter, wait what am I saying? Browner didn't ruin anything, well he ruined it for the Broncos but Heath Farwell hit Ronnie Hillman that jogged the football out of his hands and Browner picked it up and reminded the 12th Man of the Richard Sherman blocked field goal TD return, as Browner went 106 yards for the score and the Seahawks increased their lead to 24-7. After 41 minutes Russell Wilson and his offense came back onto the field and lead his team down the field for another score, well another Hauschka field goal and so the lead was now 27-7.

With time winding down in the second quarter Wilson lead his team to one last first half score as he threw one up to the bearded on Sean McGrath. The Seahawks would have lead 34-7 at the end of the first half but Hauschka couldn't hit the extra point. 

In the third quarter the Seahawks would score one last time as Tavaris Jackson hooked up with Stephen Williams for a 32 yard score. The Broncos would also score one last time but in the fourth quarter from a Matt Prater field goal. The Seahawks would then run out the clock to end the game, so the Seahawks took the practice Super Bowl XLVIII match up and are still undefeated for the season (yes I include the preseason don't judge me). Well, with this win Russell Wilson now is looking forward to the real Super Bowl XLVIII match up even more. Can't wait until the real season starts and the Seahawks can start their Super Bowl run.
