Seahawks survive Wilson’s return, edge Broncos on missed FG

Associated Press  

SEATTLE — It was a familiar scene in Seattle: Russell Wilson leading his team downfield for a game-winning score late in the fourth quarter. This time, he wasn’t given a chance by his new coach in Denver, pulled off the field in exchange for a 64-yard field goal attempt that left plenty of confusion and the Seattle Seahawks celebrating an unexpected season-opening, 17-16 victory over the Broncos on Monday night. “Obviously in hindsight, we didn’t make it, but if we were in that situation again, I wouldn’t doubt whatever he decided.” Geno Smith threw two first-half touchdown passes as the Seahawks’ offense started brilliantly in the post-Wilson era. “I didn’t think we were gonna get that many yards.. We just made our decision and wanted to take our shot there.” Hackett then used his timeouts while the Seahawks kneeled down, elongating the Seattle celebration. Others switched around the words from a catchphrase during his time in Seattle, urging the Seahawks, “Let’s Cook Russ.” “Tonight was special, just on the other side than I’m used to.
