First Half Observations: Seahawks 14, Eagles 6

Despite a frustrating start highlighted my two botched fourth down conversion opportunities, two second quarter touchdowns pushed Seattle out in front by 14 while a revitalized defense forced five consecutive three-and-out possessions.

Seeking a second straight win to move to the top of the NFC West division, the Seahawks built a 14-6 halftime lead with a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to David Moore and a sensational 16-yard touchdown run by Chris Carson on Monday Night Football. Reporter Corbin Smith shares quick takeaways from the first half, including another stellar defensive outing thus far by Pete Carroll's defense.
