An ensuing Newton pick set up Wilson’s fourth touchdown, a short crosser taken 21 yards by Freddie Swain.Ĭrossing into the fourth quarter, Newton finally found some passing rhythm in a drive that ate only 2:46 off the clock and resulted in a 1-yard touchdown pass to fullback Jakob Johnson. The touchdown pushed Seattle ahead 21-17, a lead they would never relinquish. Moore knocked the pylon over his right foot while making the catch, then tucked it inbounds as he landed, with McCourty in his lap. McCourty was victimized again, allowing a 38-yard Wilson bomb to David Moore, who backed into the end zone after flying down the left sideline stride for stride with his defender. The 14-all tie held through halftime, broken finally by a Patriots field goal early in the third quarter.īut the lead hardly lasted. Metcalf secured possession downfield, brushed off his 6-foot-4 frame like a fly that could only watch as Metcalf coasted in for a 54-yard touchdown. Stephon Gilmore didn’t stand a chance once D.K. Three plays later, Newton crossed the goal line running behind a legion of offensive lineman and led 14-7.Īfter an ensuing trade of punts, Wilson struck again, this time connecting on a cloud-tickling deep ball over the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

His final throw was a pinpoint 4-yard touchdown strike to Tyler Lockett. Sitting in short zone, McCourty snatched a tipped pass and won an uncompetitive 43-yard foot race to the end zone.ĭown 7-0, Wilson responded by directing a 13-play drive built on steady runs and short passes. Until then, his only incompletion was a Devin McCourty pick-six on the game’s third play from scrimmage. None of Wilson’s passes even hit the ground until seconds remained before the 2-minute warning of the first half.
