Eight points separated the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers on the scoreboard Sunday, but it might have been closer to a half-inch that separated them on the field.cheap nike nfl jerseys china

Or whatever amount of fingertip safety Jahleel Addae managed to get on Russell Wilson’s final pass into the end zone, an incompletion on the game’s last play that ended the Seahawks’ comeback bid.

“It was really close,” Wilson said of the last play.

The Seahawks were also really close to rallying from 15 down over the final seven minutes of what turned out to be a 25-17 defeat. They would have needed a two-point conversion to send the game to overtime, but they never got the chance after Wilson’s throw to David Moore bounced off the receiver’s chest and through his hands after being tipped at the last second.

“It’s heartbreaking, especially at home,” receiver Doug Baldwin said after Seattle’s second loss in three games this season at CenturyLink Field. “We’ve got to do better.”

The loss drops the Seahawks to 4-4 as they head into the second half of the season. Their road to the playoffs becomes that much tougher, and their upcoming schedule doesn’t get any easier as they head to Los Angeles next week for a rematch against the 7-1 Rams, who are still in control of the NFC West after suffering their first loss of the season.nike nfl jerseys cheap paypal

In other words: This was a win Seattle really could have used.

It was right there, despite the Seahawks’ most uneven performance since an 0-2 start that preceded four wins in five games. They committed drive-killing penalties on offense, got uncharacteristically gashed early by big plays on defense and didn’t get the type of mistake-free play from Wilson that he had been giving them of late.

He threw an interception that Desmond King returned for a touchdown to put the Chargers up 25-10 with less than seven minutes left. On Seattle’s first possession of the third quarter, Wilson had Jaron Brown open behind the Chargers’ secondary for what could have been a touchdown, but his underthrown pass fell incomplete, leading to a punt. He took a sack — one of four for the Chargers — for a 13-yard loss in the third quarter in one instance of him not getting the ball out quickly enough.

Wilson entered Sunday with 11 touchdowns to only one interception in his past five games. The pick-six was his second of the season and only the third of his career.
