Good, bad, ugly from Indianapolis Colts' Week 15 loss vs. Seahawks
Phillip Rivers provides stability: It wasn't flashy by any means, but Rivers did provide the Colts needed stability at quarterback. He helped the Colts' offense sustain drives and kept the ball out of harm's way until the very end. Rivers also led a late scoring drive that gave Indianapolis the lead.
Seattle's defense remains a superpower and their special teams unit is strong, but the offense is looking shakier than ever.
The Seattle Seahawks avoided disaster in Week 15 by narrowly defeating Phillip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts 18-16. The team failed to score a touchdown and relied on six field goals from Jason Myers, including a 56-yard game-winner with 22 seconds remaining. The struggling offense received little to no contributions from its rushing attack.
In the 26-0 victory over the Vikings in Week 13, the Seahawks offense recorded just 219 total yards. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, Seattle was tied at the halftime break, 6-6. What kind of faith do we have in this Seahawks offense? At the very least, they are prone to slow starts.
The good news is that the Seahawks can review their bad offensive footage and try to elevate each unit as they prepare for the Rams. Darnold still had good moments against the Colts, but now he must avenge himself against Los Angeles after throwing four interceptions in the Seahawks’ 21-19 Week 11 road loss to their rivals.
Philip Rivers was better than anyone should have expected but it wasn't quite enough for the Colts in an 18-16 loss to the Seahawks
