Flowers overcomes illness, continues to grow for Seahawks

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Tre Flowers was throwing up into trashcans and practicing with a surgical mask on at times last week as the flu had hit him and several teammates ahead of the Seahawks' Monday night win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Flowers was determined to practice despite his illness and used the mask to limit exposure to his teammates. His efforts shone through against Minnesota when he intercepted Kirk Cousins on the first play of the fourth quarter in a key victory for Seattle that moved the team into first place in the NFC West.

"I’m still learning that it’s just every day," Flowers said.
