Seahawks show up for Pro-Bowl



The Pro-Bowl was quite the show for Seahawks fans, as six Seattle players took part in the game.

Russell Wilson, Leon Washington, Earl Thomas, Russell Okung, Marshawn Lynch and Max Unger were all invited to play in the all-star football extravaganza.

Russell Wilson was the star of the show, throwing eight complete passes out of ten attempts, with three touchdown passes. He also showed off his legs, avoiding sacks and making a quick 15-yard run to get out of trouble.

Marshawn Lynch wasn’t a huge factor in the game, but this was mostly due to the game itself being centered much more around passing by both teams. He ran for 21 yards, including one 12-yard run in which he showed off his strength and powered through five tacklers along the way.

The offensive line was hard to judge in this game due to both teams being less physical than usual, but tackle Russell Okung and center Max Unger held their own.

Earl Thomas had an interception and a solid hit on Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas.

Leon Washington proved that he’s one of the best kickoff returner in the league, returning four kickoffs for a total of 167 yards, and four punts for 18 yards. He had one 92-yard kickoff return that almost resulted in a touchdown.

Overall, the Seahawks helped the NFC immensely in a 62-35 victory over the AFC. Go Hawks
