The New Orleans Saints regained a measure of momentum over the Seattle Seahawks at the end of the first half, driving 77 yards in just over a minute to put three points on the board as time expired. When we’re talking about Drew Brees and Sean Payton, momentum isn’t quite as big a deal as it seems, but all right. Still, the Qwest Field crowd is feelin’ itself for powering the D into preventing a touchdown. < — football kind of works like that, but not really, but kind of
The Seahawks are in better position than anybody could’ve expected, and they do get the ball to begin the second half, but it’s still too early for Falcons fans to start getting their hopes up at the thought of a divisional-round bye.
Both running games have been group efforts, with both totaling about 50 yards. Matt Hasselbeck is keeping pace with Drew Brees, the Seahawks pass rush is starting to at least near Brees with some consistency … OK, fine, get your hopes up. But just a little bit.
