Shaun Phillips Is Feeling OK Today Because He's Got A Really Nice Kid

The Seattle Seahawks Burn The Broncos' Touchdown Factory To The Ground
The best offense-best defense matchup should have been a grinding, tough, watchable-for-all-60-minutes game with a million lead changes, or so that's what we envisioned.

Peyton Manning Throws Brutal Pick-Six
Seattle now leads Denver 22-0 because Peyton Manning just threw his second interception of the game and Malcolm Smith returned it 65 yards for touchdown. The wheels are officially off the wagon and driving the can't-win-the-big-game narrative and we're not even at the two-minute warning....
