The Seahawks gave it their best effort and made a furious comeback, but the Cowboys managed to keep Chris Carson bottled up all night. Both Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper made big plays throughout. Eventually, Elliott’s 169 yards on 31 touches were too much for Seattle.
Dallas started well as they drove the ball down to Seattle’s 25 yard line in their first six plays. The Hawks shut them down from there, forcing the Cowboys to settle for a 39 yard field goal. The Seahawks couldn’t pick up a single first down in the first quarter.
