The Seattle Seahawks let a 24-7 lead slip away in the fourth quarter, falling to 2-3 with an overtime loss to the still undefeated Cincinnati Bengals.
Halfway through the third quarter, Michael Bennett forced a fumble on a sweep to Rex Burkhead that was scooped up by Bobby Wagner and taken in for a score. That put the Seahawks up 24-7 with under 22 minutes to play and it looked for all the world like the Seahawks had finally been replaced by THE SEAHAWKS. Alas, that was the last high point we'd see from the defending NFC champs, as Andy Dalton and the Bengals did what so many other teams have against Seattle recently, which is to pick them apart in the fourth quarter.
