Seattle, which entered with the NFL's best winning percentage on Monday night, fell to 11-4 in these situations in Carroll's 11 seasons as coach.Ĭarroll's Seahawks have fallen out of playoff contention over the past three weeks. Heinicke evaded a couple of potential sacks and outdueled Wilson in a matchup of mobile QBs, going 27 of 35 for 223 yards with the TD throw to McKissic and an interception.Ī departure from each team's typical results in prime time, Washington won at home on Monday night for the third time in 20 tries since FedEx Field opened in 1997.
had to do everything in the second half without the possibility of a field goal after kicker Joey Slye injured a hamstring late in the second quarter on an extra point attempt that was blocked and returned for two points. “He's a threat on first, second and third down.” “He’s one of the most versatile guys in the league,” Rivera said of McKissic. McKissic caught a touchdown pass from Heinicke, ran for another and accounted for 56 yards from scrimmage against the team he broke into the NFL with before being carted off with an undisclosed injury late in the game. “We got some momentum right now,” receiver Terry McLaurin said. Washington (5-6) moved into the final NFC wild-card spot with the win. “The film doesn’t lie, you know,” coach Pete Carroll said. Wilson was 20 of 31 for 247 yards and two TD passes, but he missed several throws and lost three consecutive games for the first time as the Seahawks' starting quarterback. The loss likely ended Seattle's hopes for any longshot playoff bid. “That’s what’s special about this team just to believe that something great’s going to happen.” “The last few minutes of the game shows that we have the right character of guys,” Wilson said. But the Seahawks were penalized for illegal formation on the first attempt and failed to recover the second. He almost got another chance when it looked like Seattle (3-8) had recovered an onside kick. “You've seen Russell do that for the last 10 years, and you never count him out,” Heinicke said. He connected with Freddy Swain on a 32-yard TD pass with 15 seconds left, but his 2-point throw to Swain was picked off by Fuller, preventing Wilson from leading a memorable comeback on his 33rd birthday. After Taylor Heinicke's fourth-down pass to Logan Thomas at the goal line was ruled incomplete on video review, Wilson led the Seahawks on a 10-play, 96-yard touchdown drive in just over two minutes.
