The Seahawks received to begin the first half. The ball went out of bounds at about the one or two yard line so they started on the 40.

The Seahawks started out with a fairly weak offense and had to settle for a field goal. Then when they had the ball again, Matt Hasselbeck threw an interception. The result was a field goal for the Cowboys.

A bit later, and a completed pass that looked like a first down for the Cowboys was fumbled and the Seahawks took the ball away.

Neither offense was looking very good. The Seahawks managed to get another field goal to make the score 3-6 Seattle, but they just couldn’t get the ball into the end zone otherwise.

Matt Hasselbeck was looking pretty bad. On one play, he threw the ball right directly to one of the defenders. Fortunately for Seattle, the ball was dropped. My brother, who is visiting this week from West Point remarked “Sorry, didn’t mean to hit you in the hands with the ball”.

The Cowboys seemed to pull together in the last few minutes of the first half. A good 32 yard pass, was quickly followed up with a touchdown. Both teams went into the locker room shortly after that, with the score 10-6 Cowboys.

So far, it’s been a defensive slugfest. Both offenses have done fairly poorly.

Not much of a game so far, and the Seahawks are behind. I hope it gets better soon.
