SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – Menacing defender Michael Bennett has a new motto for these inconsistent Seattle Seahawks: keep chopping wood.
“When you’re chopping wood, just keep chopping until the tree falls, man, you can’t get ahead of yourself,” Bennett said.
Defending NFC West champion Seattle certainly took a positive step on that path to regaining its contender status with a commanding 20-3 victory against the San Francisco 49ers just four days after a tough loss at home to Carolina.
Russell Wilson threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett, and the Seahawks (3-4) are ruling this rivalry with four straight wins, six out of seven and holding the Niners to single digits in the past three, outscoring them 56-13.
Now, they want to get back on a nice roll.
