Denver's Nathaniel Hackett in his head coaching debut opted for Brandon McManus to try a 64-yard field goal attempt on fourth down with 20 seconds left rather than give Russell Wilson and the offense a chance at converting and making McManus' job easier.
While Hackett’s assertion that Denver had moved the ball in only fits and spurts during the final drive, it showed the sort of explosiveness in the middle of the field that an offensive-minded head coach could easily have rationalized as reason enough to put the offense on the field for a potential game-deciding play.
“We’ve got to be better in the red zone and that starts with me,” Hackett said. “That starts with me. I’ve got to make sure we have a better plan and we’re able to get physical down there and get touchdowns instead of field goals or nothing at all.” “Crowd noise definitely played a factor,” center Lloyd Cushenberry said. “We’ve just got to get out of the huddle faster. Not really sure what it was, but we’ll talk about it when we get back in the office and fix it next week.”All of those mistakes – and an opportunistic Seahawks bunch – conspired to be more than enough to keep Wilson from a victory in his emotional return here.
Wilson made his way to midfield and spread his arms wide as he made a slow circle on the Seattle logo, looking up and taking in the empty stadium from underneath a large pair of headphones.
