The Seattle Seahawks defense (7 Pts Allowed, 309 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Jason Myers (1-1 FG, 31 long, 4-4 XP) carried the flag for Seattle Seahawks in the loss. Cleveland Browns (5-3) will look to maintain their winning ways against GB Packers (JP), while Seattle Seahawks (1-6-1) will match up against New Orleans Saints in an effort to get back in the win column.
