The Seattle Seahawks went on quite a tear in the first quarter, thanks to a pair of interceptions from Ernest Jones IV and Coby Bryant. Seattle took full advantage of both turnovers. After the first, Geno Smith found Jaxon Smith-Njigba 19 yards down the field in the end zone on the next play.
On the second, it took the Seahawks a little longer to score… all of five whole plays this time! What stood out is how creative the play design was at the goal line to get running back Zach Charbonnet into the end zone. Seattle’s short yardage offense has struggled this year, but kudos to offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb for thinking outside the box on this one.
Clever play design/call at the goal line to extend the Seahawks lead to 17-7.

But Charbonnet was not done. He enjoyed the taste of the end zone so much he wanted another bite of the apple, and he took a big one. Leading 17-10 in the waning moments of the second quarter, Charbonnet took the ball and was off to the races as he sprinted 51 yards down the field for his second touchdown of the afternoon.

There is plenty of game left, but I have a strong feeling who is going to make the Studs list today.
