“Seattle is a great side. We came here with a lot of respect for them. But we also wanted to show them that we are a group of guys that don’t back down against anyone. Yes, the game ebbed and flowed. But we were able to take advantage of those shifts. We were able to shut them down in the last 15 minutes. This victory in Seattle is one I am going to remember for a while.”
