Here are a few interesting numbers from ESPN Stats & Information following the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos Sunday.
Russell Wilson was at his best on the run in overtime. Five of Wilson's six pass attempts during the game-winning drive came from outside the pocket, and he completed three of them for first downs. Wilson also rushed four times for 21 yards on the drive, earning two first downs via scrambles.
Wilson now is 17-1 at home in his career, becoming the fourth quarterback to win 17 of his first 18 home starts. He joins Daryle Lamonica, Danny White and Matt Ryan (from Elias).
Peyton Manning has thrown three interceptions in his last five games, and all three came against the Seahawks, including one Sunday by strong safety Kam Chancellor. The Broncos are 0-3 in OT games with Manning as the quarterback.
Manning was only 3-of-9 passing on balls traveling 15 or more yards downfield Sunday, and two of those came on the final drive in the fourth quarter. He also was 3-of-9 on those throws in the Super Bowl loss to Seattle.
Manning completed 31-of-49 passes overall, and 11 of those completions went to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (11 receptions for 149 yards). Sanders is the first player with at least 10 catches and 100 yards versus Seattle since Chicago's Brandon Marshall did it in Week 13 of 2012 season.
Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch now has scored a touchdown in seven consecutive games, including the playoffs. He had two Sunday, one receiving and one rushing.
Of the seven Super Bowl rematch games played in following season, Sunday is the only one that went into overtime. It also ended Denver's four-game regular-season winning streak.
