This article analyzes the significant contributions of the Seattle Seahawks special teams unit to their victory over the New England Patriots. Beyond Jason Myers' game-winning field goal, players like Dee Williams and Julian Love made impactful plays that swung momentum in Seattle's favor.
The Seattle Seahawks passing attack was the number one reason they were able to beat the New England Patriots on Sunday, but I’d argue that second on the list was special teams . Jay Harbaugh’s group made several critical plays that swung the game in Seattle’s favor, including from a player whose controversial roster inclusion was made to look shaky after a rough Week 1. In his NFL debut, Dee Williams muffed a punt and gifted the Denver Broncos points with his turnover.
Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy combined for a critical third-down sack of Jacoby Brissett, pushing the Patriots into a 48-yard field goal. Joey Slye’s kick was blocked by Julian Love, who got past Austin Hooper on the inside to get a hand on the ball. This dropped New England’s win probability from 70 to 61 percent. The Seahawks safety revealed to reporters after the game that his decision to line up alongside Riq Woolen was a last-second switch with Rayshawn Jenkins.
