Seattle Seahawks hand New Orleans Saints third straight loss in 44-30 rout

Seattle Seahawks cruised to a 44-30 win to hand New Orleans Saints their third consecutive loss. New Orleans Saints leapt out to a 7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a stellar showing from Mike Gesicki (5 Rec, 65 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). But it was all Seattle Seahawks after that. They were led by Russell Wilson, who passed for 206 yards and 4 touchdowns for 12 points, and Jason Myers, who made both of his FG attempts (10 points). This marks the first time this season Seattle Seahawks have taken down New Orleans Saints, after falling 31-27 in their last matchup.
