As we await the 5:15pm kickoff on the Seahawks’ 2022 season opener, I thought it might be fun to revisit what happened on this day exactly 12 years ago. It was Pete Carroll’s first regular season...
Matt Hasselbeck throws a pass to John Carlson and ... INTERCEPTION!Seattle’s second possession was a 3-and-out. Their third possession too. San Francisco added a field goal to make it 6-0 halfway through the second quarter.First, Hasselbeck led the Seahawks on a 7-play, 64-yard drive that ended with him scoring on a 1-yard scramble.The extra point by Olindo Mare was good and San Francisco got the ball on their own 20 with 2:26 left in the first half, down 7-6.
A holding call made it first and 20 on their own 10. On 3rd and 5, Jordan Babineaux grabbed a pass that was intended for Michael Crabtree.They only need 6 seconds to push their advantage to 8 points. Hasselbeck to Deon Butler, TOUCHDOWN!. San Francisco got the ball first, but Marcus Trufant didn’t like that idea so he stole a 3rd-and-8 pass that was intended for Michael Crabtree andThe defense then forced a 3-and-out and the offense said, “Thank you very much,” as they marched 59 yards on 7 plays with the Hasselbeck finding Deion Branch on 3rd and goal from the 3-yard line.The teams traded punts most of the rest of the way .and gave Pete Carroll his first win as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.
