Russell Wilson Throws 5 TDs as Seahawks Hold off Cam Newton, Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks continued their hot start to the season with a dramatic 35-30 victory over the New England Patriots in Sunday’s inter-conference showdown at CenturyLink Field.

Russell Wilson led the way in the win with a brilliant performance as the team attempts to keep pace in what promises to be a daunting NFC West. Seattle joined the undefeated Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams at 2-0, while the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers are right behind them at 1-1.

The visitors had an opportunity to win in the final minute, but Seattle’s defense stuffed Cam Newton at the goal line on the final play of the game.

As a result, New England fell to 1-1 despite an impressive showing from Newton and is now looking up at the 2-0 Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.

What’s Next?

Both teams are home in Week 3 when the Patriots face the Las Vegas Raiders and the Seahawks play the Dallas Cowboys.
