For the first half of the Seattle Seahawks game at the Houston Texans on Sunday, Texans linebackerBrian Cushingwas dominating on defense. Cushing was more dominating verbally as well, jawing at multiple Seahawks including Pro Bowl running backMarshawn Lynch.
The audio and video can be viewed on the Texans site here.
At one point Cushing walked by Lynch and commented; “nice sponsor,” regardingLynch’s now famous Skittles cleats.
Later in the game Lynch complemented Cushing and let him know he thought the Texans were a solid team. Cushing agreed and a few plays later the Texans defender forced Lynch to fumble, making it seem the Seahawks comeback attempt would be highly unlikely.
Cushing would leave the game with concussion like symptoms and wouldn’t return because of the leagues new rules protecting players against such injuries.
Once the Seahawks makeshift offensive line, includingAlvin BaileyandLemuel Jeanpierre, who were filling in forMax UngerandBreno Giacomini, wouldn’t have to contend with both Cushing andJ.J. Watt, the tide started turning for the Hawks.
Russell Wilson,Richard Shermanand Marshawn Lynch would work their magic and highly underrated kickerSteven Hauschkawould give the Seahawks an overtime victory, 23-20, capping one of the greatest comebacks in franchise history and giving the Hawks their first 4-0 start to a season since the team came into existence.
The Seahawks face the Indianapolis Colts in Indy on Sunday.
