The Seattle Seahawks seemed to have everything in control. The club was ahead 13-0 at the close of the third quarter in Saturday’s NFC Wild Card matchup against the Washington Redskins. The Seahawks had held the Redskins to just 116 net yards in the first half, including 52 on the ground, and Josh Brown’s 33-yard field goal that put Seattle up by 13 points came after the defense held Washington in check yet again on its first offensive possession of the second half.

However, the Redskins, a team that has battled nothing but adversity this year — including the death of safety Sean Taylor — showed they were not going to quit. And Seattle never saw it coming.

Washington quarterback Todd Collins opened up the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass to make it 13-7. Two plays later, the Seahawks’ Matt Hasselbeck was picked off by Washington rookie safety LaRon Landry. That led to a 30-yard touchdown pass by Collins to Santana Moss.
