Jabaal Sheard, perhaps the Patriots most explosive player along the front, sat the entire first quarter save for the last play. It was puzzling and the insertion of him at the end of the quarter and his extensive use during the second quarter was odd unless the team just wants to platoon him with Trey Flowers quarter by quarter.

Tom Brady, who hadn’t thrown a pick all season (the Patriots as a team hadn’t either) threw a semi-blind bomb down the right sideline that was easily picked by DeShawn Shead.

Earl Thomas caught Rob Gronkowski running a seam route and delivered a picture perfect blow to the big tight end’s sternum jumbling him up good and sending him to the sidelines for a couple of plays.

After Gronk went to the bench, Martellus Bennett was front and center for the rest of the drive making three key catches to get the ball down to the Seattle 1.

LeGarrette Blount, stymied at the point of attack trying to cap off the drive, kept churning and sliding until he bulldozed into the end zone to make it 14-12.

The Patriots defense, playing soft zone and rushing three or two the entire drive, allowed the Seahawks to scurry downfield picking up chunks in the soft spots until Russell Wilson found Doug Baldwin all alone in the end zone to make it 19-14 before the break.

Tom Brady got hit low by Kam Chancellor in the third quarter, taking the shot in the right leg and drawing a flag. Brady was experiencing some pain after the hit, but had his right foot been on the ground when Chancellor hit it the result would have been more than soreness.
