If ever a game epitomized the old saying “they don’t ask how, they ask how many,” it was the Seattle Seahawks’ squeaker of a win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 of the NFL season. The Colts, losers of three straight and with their postseason lives hanging in the balance, very nearly pulled off the unlikely win behind 44-year-old, recently-unretired quarterback Philip Rivers.
Only the miraculous right toe of Jason Myers allowed the Hawks to avert disaster and keep pace in the ultra-competitive NFC West.
The Seahawks entered the contest with one of the best defenses in the NFL and it seemed through most of the game that Mike Macdonald was content to adopt a vanilla approach.
