HOUSE CALL FOR COBY 🎱 pic.twitter.com/hiQNjq1uzw — Seattle Seahawks November 24, 2024 “Sometimes ball doesn’t lie,” Love said. “A lot of them have been on point.” The other moment that illustrated Seattle’s much-needed attitude adjustment on defense came in the fourth quarter when Arizona reached the goal line with 11:17 remaining, trailing 13-3. GO DEEPER Three keys that could decide Seahawks' playoff fate during critical 3-game stretch “It’s funny,” Smith said, “because they were electric today.” Williams and the defense were, too.
