Rice caught three passes for 81 yards and made the key play of the game, beating the Patriots secondary and hauling in the go-ahead TD catch as the Seahawks (4-2), beat New England for the first time since 1993. Braylon Edwards and Doug Baldwin each added a touchdown catch in the win while Wilson finished 16-for-27 for 293 yards.

Tom Brady completed a season-high 36 passes in a career-high 58 attempts for 395 yards and a pair of touchdowns but was called for two key intentional grounding penalties and was picked off twice.

Wilson found Edwards with a 10-yard scoring pass to pull the Seahawks within 23-17 with 7:26 left. The Seattle defense forced the Patriots to punt on each of their next two possessions and gave their offense the ball back with 2:38 left.

Marshawn Lynch bulled his way for a first down to keep the drive alive and then Wilson went up top to Rice for the go-ahead touchdown. The defense stepped up again, forcing a pair of incompletions and sacking Brady once on the ensuing drive to clinch it.
