The Seahawks opened their season with a 28-16 road win over the Colts, a result that Pete Carroll described as "a really excellent way to get this thing started," with the team executing well in all three phases of the game.
In addition to that final score, here are 12 numbers of note that help tell the story of Sunday's win:
4
Touchdown passes thrown by Russell Wilson with no interceptions, the 11th such game of his career. That's the most games with four or more touchdowns and no interceptions by a quarterback through 10 seasons, and Wilson still has 16 games left in his 10th season. Before Sunday Wilson was tied with Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton manning for the most four-touchdown, zero-interception games through 10 seasons.
"In today's @Seahawks victory, @DangeRussWilson had 4 TD passes with 0 INTs. It marked his 11th-career game with 4+ TD passes & 0 INTs, the most by a player in his first 10 seasons in @NFL history, surpassing Tom Brady (10 games), Aaron Rodgers (10) & HOFer Peyton Manning (10)."
