Game Recap
The Seahawks gained a quick lead when kicker Steven Hauschka kicked a 23-yard field goal, which was followed by an 8-yard touchdown run by running back Thomas Rawls. The Panthers saw a little hope when Cam Newton connected on a 55-yard pass to wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr to put some points on the board, but this was the only scoring action they saw the entire game.

After the half, the Seahawks returned with even more fire. In the first 12 seconds back out on the field, a pass off to wide receiver Tyler Lockett lead to a 75-yard run touchdown. The Seahawks finished the game with a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jimmy Graham and another 28-yard field by Hauschka.
