Jason Myers' Six Field Goals Lift Seahawks Over Colts 18-16 in Final Seconds

Analytics-driven clock management preserved 47 seconds for the winning drive.

Overview

  • Jason Myers went 6-for-6, setting a Seahawks single-game record and drilling a 56-yard winner with 18 seconds left after Blake Grupe briefly put Indianapolis ahead with a career-long 60-yarder.
  • Philip Rivers, signed during the week at age 44, completed 18 of 27 passes for 120 yards with one touchdown and a final-play interception in his return start.
  • Coby Bryant sealed the result by picking off Rivers on the game's last snap following Seattle’s go-ahead kickoff.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald credited director of football analysis Brian Eayrs for advising the use of all defensive timeouts to preserve 47 seconds, awarding him a game ball.
  • Seattle won without an offensive touchdown for just the fourth time in franchise history and enters a short-week rematch with the Rams needing fixes for red-zone execution and a stagnant run game.
