SEATTLE -- It took all of 1 minute, 53 seconds for the Seattle Seahawks to turn a 13-0 third-quarter deficit into a 21-13 lead over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.
Two straight takeaways by Seattle's defense and three straight touchdowns by the offense turned the game around in a hurry.
After Russell Wilson got the Seahawks on the board with a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Will Dissly, Damontre' Moore's strip-sack of Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, initially ruled an incomplete pass, set Seattle up with a short field. Wilson threw a laser to DK Metcalf for a 13-yard touchdown. Then Chris Carson rumbled into the end zone for a 29-yard touchdown one play after K.J. Wright set Seattle up with another short field when he made a one-handed interception.
.@Will_Diss hauls one in for six and we're on the board!

Wright dropped three would-be interceptions last week in Miami.
This is the third time in Seahawks history that they scored three touchdowns in two minutes or less, according to Elias. The most recent NFL team to score three TDs in two minutes or less was the Jacksonville Jaguars, who had three in 1:51 against the Bills on Oct. 25, 2015, in London.
The Vikings responded with an 11-play touchdown drive, then missed the two-point try, making it 21-19 Seattle.
