Riq Woolen reveals what really caused his misstep in Seahawks’ Week 13 win

The Seattle Seahawks were well ahead and in no danger of losing in Week 13 to the Minnesota Vikings when cornerback Riq Woolen got his team's fourth interception of the game. This one happened in the fourth quarter with Seattle up 26-0 and just five minutes left. Woolen felt the freedom to make a mistake.

His interception was a brilliant play. He initially had coverage on the outside of Jalen Nailor. Soon after the snaps, Woolen understood that the slot receiver, Jordan Addison, had broken free uncovered, so the cornerback rotated quickly to where Addison was and picked off the pass.
