HERO
Marshawn Lynch was in his full Beast Mode, running for 132 yards, including a 27-yard TD to give the Seahawks the winning points. He rushed for 99 yards in the second half, taking the game over with his punishing tackle-breaking style.
UNSUNG HERO
Rookie middle linebacker Bobby Wagner led a Seahawks defense that couldn’t solve the Redskins’ tricky read-option attack in the first quarter as they fell behind 14-0. The ’Skins didn’t get another point as Wagner and Co. allowed no points and only 63 total yards after halftime.
ZERO
We know how competitive Redskins coach Mike Shanahan is but what was he thinking, keeping Robert Griffin III in the game as his franchise quarterback was limping around, clearly hurting. You want to win, sure, but not at the expense of possibly crippling your star player.
KEY STAT
26 Minutes, the Redskins’ time of possession. The best way to deal with RG3 and Alfred Morris is to keep them off the field.
