Free safety Earl Thomas has played a role on both of Seattle's interceptions. He dove on top of Titans receiver Nate Washington on Hasselbeck's first pass of the game. The ball bounced up, was intercepted by cornerback Brandon Browner, who returned it 23 yards for a touchdown.

Thomas was providing help to cornerback Richard Sherman over the top on the Seahawks' second interception, though to be fair, that pick came on a third-and-14 play in which Hasselbeck threw a deep lob to Damian Williams that doubled as a punt. Sherman intercepted the ball at the Seattle 6.

Matt Flynn completed his first eight pass attempts of the game as Seattle's quarterback. Well, actually, he completed his first nine pass attempts. Problem was that ninth throw was completed to the Titans' linebacker Colin McCarthy for an interception.
