Beauty is rare in the NFL's preseason, and even those occasional moments of polish and precision are fleeting; this much was evident during Seattle's 22-20 loss to Denver last week—even Tyler Lockett's electric 103-yard kickoff return touchdown was spoiled on the peripheries when Pete Carroll got trampled by a referee—and it will be evident again this Friday when the Seahawks travel to Arrowhead Stadium to meet the Chiefs.
Seattle's two-point loss is filled with deceit.
The Seahawks offense didn't discover the end zone until there was just less than three minutes remaining to play in the game.
