Associated Press Published 10:35 PM EDT Sep 23, 2018 Seattle — Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns in the first half, Chris Carson added a 5-yard TD run in early in the fourth quarter, and the Seattle Seahawks avoided a 0-3 start with a 24-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Wilson hit Jaron Brown on an 16-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, and later hit Tyler Lockett streaking up the sideline on a 52-yard scoring pass as Seattle (1-2) built a 17-3 halftime lead and cruised past the Cowboys. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott didn’t have the answers against a Seattle defense that had safety Earl Thomas on the field and welcomed back Bobby Wagner after the Seahawks’ defensive leader missed Week 2 with a groin injury. Prescott was intercepted twice by Thomas, including with 3:09 remaining at the Seattle 15 on a deflected pass, with Thomas bowing to the Dallas sideline at the end of the play. Prescott was sacked five times and Dallas (1-2) had just … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions’ next opponent: Seattle Seahawks beat Dallas Cowboys

$135M in funding OK’d for Seattle Mariners ballpark
SEATTLE — Washington state's King County Council has approved $135 million in public funding for improvements at Safeco Field where the Seattle Mariners play. The funding package narrowly passed in a 5-4 vote on Monday. The Mariners initially asked for $180 million in funding to fix wear and tear at the 19-year-old stadium as part of a long-term, 25-year extension with the Public Facilities District that oversees the ballpark. Funding package opponents argued that the billion-dollar company could pay for its own needs. The funding package was lowered to $135 million after dozens of housing advocates argued that the funds would be better used on much-needed affordable housing. The Mariners thanked the public for their support in a statement issued after the vote. … [Read more...] about $135M in funding OK’d for Seattle Mariners ballpark
Chicago defeats Seattle
Andrew Seligman Associated Press Published 12:36 AM EDT Sep 18, 2018 Chicago — Khalil Mack had one of six sacks against Russell Wilson, Prince Amukamara returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown and the Chicago Bears beat the Seattle Seahawks 24-17 Monday night to give coach Matt Nagy his first career victory. Mack sprinted out of the tunnel to a neat ovation prior to his first appearance at Soldier Field since a blockbuster trade from Oakland just over two weeks ago. That deal happened after he held out the entire offseason and preseason seeking a contract extension from the Raiders rather than play under the final year of his rookie contract. Chicago gave him a six-year, $141 million extension that guarantees $90 million — the richest deal ever for an NFL defensive player. Mack also had the crowd roaring with a strip sack in the first half, smacking the ball out of Wilson’s hand as he wound up to pass, and he consistently pressured the … [Read more...] about Chicago defeats Seattle
