Russell Wilson and the Seahawks moved the ball down the field on the Chargers defense to begin the game and drove the ball into San Diego territory, until Dwight Freeney recorded his first sack of the season by sacking Russell Wilson to knock the Seahawks out of field goal range.
Philip Rivers would drive the Chargers down the field into Seahawks territory and Nick Novak would nail a 50-yard field goal to give the Chargers an early 3-0 lead. On the Seahawks next drive Percy Harvin would race past the Chargers secondary for a 51-yard touchdown to give the Seahawks a 7-3 lead……except Harvin never should have scored, as he stepped out of bounds on the play and the replay officials missed the call and allowed Harvin to score.
