17 Power, A Seattle Seahawks Blog: Seahawks out-raven Ravens, win shocker
I'm not a big dating expert, but one thing even I've heard is that its best to "just be yourself" when you go on a big date.  Well the Seahawks were themselves today in all their goofy, awkward glory, and still scored big.  They couldn't finish drives.  They had many "almost" touchdowns that weren't.  They were penalized.  Often. Oh man, so often that it almost certainly will vault them into the #1 spot in the league.  They moved the ball well, yet nearly had as many penalties as first downs.

"It wasn't me to be honest," Lynch said. "The goal for every game is to run the ball. That's pretty much why they wanted (Tom) Cable to come here. He just took his time with us, up front and the running backs. We go hand in hand to get that thing going and now it seems like we're understanding what it is he wants, and how the run game should look."

The Brewery | Instant replay: A brief sketch of the Seahawks' victory over Baltimore | Seattle Times Newspaper - Why the Seahawks won: Seattle (3-6) wanted this game more than the Ravens, who suffered a letdown after an emotional victory over Pittsburgh last week. The Seahawks took it to Baltimore from the beginning, using Marshawn Lynch in the running and passing game and capitalizing on three Ravens turnovers. The defense and special teams were stellar, and the offense made plays when it needed to do so. Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson had an efficient first half (10 of 16 for 137 yards) on his way to a 217-yard performance. Steven Hauschka made all five of his field-goal attempts, which matched a franchise record.
