Monday Brings Madness In Seattle

RENTON — It’s almost a given now that a Monday night game played in Seattle is going to include some sort of wackiness. The latest chapter came during Seattle’s 21-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings that has the Seahawks on the cusp of clinching an NFC playoff spot. The Seahawks need just one win against either of their final two NFC opponents — at San Francisco this week or at home to Arizona in Week 17 — to wrap up a wild-card berth. They didn’t get here without controversy, however, after officials failed to call a penalty on Bobby Wagner when he leaped the line of scrimmage to block Dan Bailey’s field goal attempt with 5:38 remaining. Wagner’s play was a marvel — clearing the Minnesota line without the benefit of a running start.
