Gino Smith runs 13 yards for a touchdown with 12 seconds left
5 wins and 5 losses on the season with a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers
3 NFC West Division teams tie for 2nd place, predicting a bloody battle to advance to PO
The Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL), who had been greatly disappointing their fans since the fourth game of this season, achieved a dramatic victory in the away game. With 12 seconds left in the game, Seahawks quarterback Gino Smith ran 13 yards and scored a touchdown, securing the victory.
The Seahawks achieved a dramatic victory in the away game against the San Francisco 49ers in the 11th week of the season held in Santa Clara, California on the 17th, and recorded a winning percentage of .500 with a season record of 5 wins and 5 losses.
By defeating their division rival, the 49ers, the Seahawks moved into a tie for second place in the NFC West. In the NFC West, the Arizona Cardinals are leading with 6 wins and 4 losses, while the Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and LA Rams are all tied for second place with 5 wins and 5 losses.
Accordingly, it is expected that a fierce battle will unfold in the remaining seven games to advance to the playoffs.
In the game against the San Francisco 49ers, despite being a similar game, they lost in terms of possession, etc., and achieved a dramatic victory in a state of deep defeat, so both players and fans are hoping that the Seahawks will make a comeback based on this victory.
The Seahawks scored first in the game that day. With 8 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter, kicker Jason Meyer made a rather long 52-yard field goal. However, with 10 seconds left in the first quarter, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy ran 10 yards and scored a touchdown, ending the first quarter with the score tied 3-7. In the second quarter, the Seahawks made a 57-yard field goal and gained three more points, but had to end the half trailing 6-7.
In the third quarter, Seahawks quarterback Gino Smith was chased by the defense and threw the ball awkwardly, allowing an interception, allowing a three-point field goal with 9 minutes and 26 seconds left in the third quarter. However, with 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in the third quarter, Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker scored a touchdown with a 1-yard run, and the team was able to end the third quarter with a pleasant lead of 13-10.
But the 4th quarter was the problem. With 9 minutes and 33 seconds left in the game, the 49ers scored a touchdown to bring the game back to 13-17, but time passed without the Seahawks scoring any points. As the score difference was as high as 4 points, a field goal was meaningless and a touchdown was required. As they launched an all-out offensive at the end of the game, with 12 seconds left, quarterback Gino Smith had no place to pass, so he found a loophole and ran directly. He scored a dramatic touchdown, virtually confirming victory.
In this day’s game, Seahawks quarterback Gino Smith attempted 32 passes, completing 25 of them, advancing 221 yards, and scoring a touchdown in the last minute, contributing significantly to the victory. Of course, he allowed one ridiculous interception, but he saved the game by passing or running directly at every crucial moment, and was evaluated as even leading to the winning touchdown in the last minute.
In addition, wide receiver Jackson Smith Zigba contributed greatly to the Seahawks’ victory by catching 10 passes and advancing 110 yards.
Looking at the total forward yards between the two teams, the Seahawks had 289 yards and the 49ers had 277 yards, which were similar to each other, but in ball possession time, the 49ers had 33.25 seconds, which was about 7 minutes longer than the Seahawks.
The Seahawks, who have barely won in three games and are raising expectations for the second half of the season, will play the Arizona Cardinals, the leader in the same division, in the 12th week of the season in Seattle at 1:25 pm on the 24th.
