Russell Wilson engineered a three-play drive to lead the Seattle Seahawks past the Houston Texans in a 41-38 thriller Sunday.
Wilson found Paul Richardson for a 48-yard strike, connected with Tyler Lockett for a 19-yard reception, then finished the Texans off with a 18-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham.
In what may have been the best game of the season thus far, Wilson and standout Texans rookie Deshaun Watson went punch for punch til the very end. Wilson finished 26-of-41 for 452 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception, running for 30 yards, while Watson went 19-of-30 for 402 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Houston and Seattle exchanged leads throughout the second half. Blair Walsh kicked two field goals to put the Seahawks up 27-24 entering the fourth quarter, but Watson countered with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Lamar Miller, giving the Texans a 31-27 lead.
Wilson fired back with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Graham, but Watson wouldn't be outdone. The emerging star found DeAndre Hopkins in the open field, and he scampered away for a 72-yard score to put the Texans up 38-34. Hopkins finished with eight receptions for 224 yards.
It was all for naught, however, as Wilson's last-minute heroics put the Seahawks up for good.
Seattle moved to 5-2, while Houston dropped to 3-4.
