SEATTLE - This time, the Seahawks didn't need replacement refs to pull off an upset.
Rookie Russell Wilson found Sidney Rice behind the secondary for a 46-yard touchdown with 1:18 remaining, and the Seattle Seahawks rallied for 14 points in the final 7:31 to stun the New England Patriots 24-23 Sunday.
The matchup between the Patriots' No. 1 ranked offense and Seattle's No. 1 defense instead turned into a starring performance for Wilson ? and a shocking rally.
Wilson hit Braylon Edwards on fourth down for a 10-yard TD to get the Seahawks' within 23-17. After a pair of holds by Seattle's defense, Wilson found Rice open on a double move. Steven Hauschka's extra point gave Seattle the lead.
Tom Brady and the Patriots (3-3) were then stopped on fourth down at their 28 when Wes Welker came up 2 yards short, and the Seahawks (4-2) were able to celebrate the unlikely comeback.
Wilson threw for 293 yards on 16-of-27 passing with no interceptions and three TDs to three different receivers.
Brady passed for 395 yards, completing 36 of 58 passes and hitting two TDs. But the Seahawks picked him off twice.
