Wallace was competent, completing 15-of-30 passes for 198 yards, including touchdown passes of 8 yards to D.J. Hackett and Jerramy Stevens in the first half, then a huge 49-yard touchdown strike to Darrell Jackson midway through the fourth quarter. But he also had two interceptions – the second in the final two minutes. The pass was deflected at the line of scrimmage by Tamba Hali and intercepted by defensive end Jared Allen, who took off with the ball. However, Seahawks receiver Deion Branch ran him down and took the ball back the officials ruled upon the challenge from Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren. That was his first forced fumble and recovery in his career, but the drive stalled just as they passed midfield..

All in all, the game was better than I expected. If the Seahawks had managed to pull it out in the last drive the game likely would have gone into overtime. I was impressed. Our second string almost beat their first string.
The game was hard to watch though. Fox must have had some problems with their satellite feed. It was like watching the game on a webcam. One of our friends was literally nauseous because of it. It made it really hard to tell occasionally what was really happening on the field. One time, it looked like a Kansas City interception, but it turned out the ball was dropped. The frames that were dropped in transmission were the ones where the ball slipped out of his hands, hit the ground and bounced back up. It looked on television like a good catch, until they showed the replay.
So the Seahawks fall to 4-3 and the Chiefs move to 4-3. Not altogether unexpected, but still disappointing.
