Mike Macdonald has made Seahawks history. He's the first head coach ever to start his Seattle tenure with two straight wins.
Modest? Sure. Easy to do? Far from it.When the defense held New England at the end of regulation—and again in overtime—with the offense capitalizing for the game-winning score , it screamed something."What a heck of a football game," Macdonald said after the win. "We knew the game was going to come down to the 4th quarter, didn't know it would come down to the 5th quarter."
We can go over the numbers, like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf both going over 100 yards receiving, Geno Smith tossing the ball at will for 327 yards, or any other impressive stat the Seahawks had rolling on Sunday.The Seahawks new coach and his team absolutely have it. Zach Charbonnet hauling in a pass from Smith on third and six in overtime and getting the extra necessary yards to keep the drive going with a first down was part scheme but all heart.
