RENTON, Wash. -- The first tie in the history of the Seattle Seahawks left Pete Carroll searching for a way to define its meaning.It certainly wasnt a loss. Not with the way Seattles defense withstood the most difficult of conditions, being subjected to 95 plays by one of the more potent offenses in the NFL and more than 46 exhausting minutes spent on the field.But it also didnt feel much like a victory after Steve Hauschka badly missed a 28-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds of overtime.So less than 24 hours after walking off the field in Arizona, Carroll was still searching for the proper context to Sundays 6-6 tie with the Cardinals.Ive decided to make up our own place. Were going to put this in the extraordinary experience of battling, an opportunity to demonstrate who we are and what were about, Carroll said. And again, learn how to believe in one another. Count on each other to get stuff done even when its really bleak sometimes. You just keep hanging on, keep believing.Carroll had reason to be so encouraged after seeing the performance by Seattles defense that somehow kept Arizona out of the end zone but left the likes of Bobby Wagner and Richard Sherman severely fatigued after being on the field for 46 minutes and 21 seconds, believed to be the ninth-longest time of possession in a regular-season game. The Seahawks gave up 443 total yards to Arizona, but huge plays in overtime by Earl Thomas, Kelcie McCray and Wagner managed to keep Arizona from finding the end zone and created the situation where Chandler Catanzaro missed a 24-yard field goal attempt that could have won it for the Cardinals.Between defense and special teams, McCray was on the field for 108 total plays.There was a bunch of guys that did a lot. It was a game of heroics, Carroll said. I dont know if they see it that way. I see the stuff on their side too that you admire. But we had a bunch of guys that did some great things and played a ton of plays and were able to survive it.Carroll said the team will be mindful of the rest and recovery needed for his defense this week before Seattle makes the road trip to New Orleans for an early kickoff Sunday.Youll see some names and things for different reasons to make sure our guys are bouncing back because right now its about recovering, Carroll said. We didnt get banged up much, but there will be a recovery mode here that we have to be in and make sure we get out of it and come out strong and fast and ready to play next weekend.While the accolades were deserved for Seattles defense, managing just six points raised more questions regarding Seattles offense and specifically the protection by the offensive line. Seattle had only five first downs and 130 yards of offense in regulation.Quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked just once, but was rarely comfortable throwing from the pocket. Seattle had very little success running the ball and faced numerous long yardage situations on second and third downs due to penalties.There will be changes on the offensive line for likely the next few weeks. Left tackle Bradley Sowell suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee and, while he wont need surgery, will miss some time. Carroll indicated his replacement will likely come from the group that includes rookie George Fant and veteran JMarcus Webb or a move by Garry Gilliam from right tackle to left tackle.The running game, we would be OK, we just need more plays, Carroll said. You could see it in the fourth quarter. You could see there (were) runs there, there were plays to be had. Maybe it was the fifth quarter when it really showed up some. Its disappointing that were on the same topic here again.Game notes Carroll said RB Thomas Rawls (leg) will begin running this week with the plan of returning to practice next week before Seattle hosts Buffalo on Nov. 7. Rawls suffered a hairline fracture in his fibula in Week 2 against Los Angeles. ... Carroll said the team knew of Hauschkas struggles at University of Phoenix Stadium. Coming into Sundays game, Hauschka was 12 of 19 on field goal attempts in his career at the stadium. We didnt talk about it very much because we didnt want it to happen again, Carroll said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Kyle Korver Jersey . Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win. "We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said. Jeff Green Jersey . General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. http://www.cheapcavaliersjerseys.us/ . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. Cheap Nike Cavaliers Jerseys . -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins got the ball on the wing, made a nifty spin move and then let go with a soft floater from about 10 feet that swished through the net in Allen Fieldhouse. Jose Calderon Jersey . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. Air Force overcame a season-ending injury to its quarterback last season and still reached the Mountain West title game.Now quarterback Nate Romine is making his way back from tearing up his knee and there is every reason to believe the Falcons, with an experienced defense and plenty of playmakers returning on offense, will be in contention for another division title.Romine was lost in the second game of last season to two torn ligaments in his right knee. Without him, it took a few games for Air Forces triple-option offense to get back up to speed. But once it did the Falcons rolled to a six-game winning streak.The Falcons started preseason practice still learning just how far Romine has to go to be the player he was before the injury.You can tell things are slowing down for him, offensive coordinator Mike Thiessen told The Gazette of Colorado Springs. You can tell hes got all the pieces, that hes managing everybody, taking charge of getting us going tempo-wise. Hes got command of whats going on on offense.Romine has eight career starts.The Falcons dont throw it a lot, but coach Troy Calhouns triple-option likes to incorporate a good dose of play-action passes and shots down field. Romine has the passing skills to make that part of the game more of a threat for Air Force.Still, the quarterback has to be able to run to make the offense go.The Falcons should support their quarterback well. Fullback Jacobi Owens will be looking for a third straight 1,000-yard rushing season and five other players who ran for at least 425 yards and 5.2 per carry are back. Plus, leading receiver Jalen Robinette, who averaged 24.7 yards per catch lasst year, is back.ddddddddddddhe defense that ranked in the middle of the Mountain West pack last year at 5.71 yards per play allowed returns nine starters, including all-conference safety Weston Steelhammer.SEASON OPENER: The Falcons ease into the season against FCS Abilene Christian on Sept. 3, which should be helpful as Air Force works Romine back into playing shape. Week 2 is a home game against Georgia State and then an early off week.UP FRONT: The unit that needs the most retooling is the offense, where Air Force loses three starters, including two all-conference players. As is usually the case at the academy, there are upperclassmen ready to step in. The Falcons led the conference in yards per play last season at 6.40. The only thing likely to stand in the way of a similar showing in 2016 is the development of the line.KEY GAMES: After the break, the Falcons get cranking with a road trip to Utah State, always a Mountain Division contender, and a home game against Navy. Air Forces division title hopes figure to be settled in November with home games against Colorado State (Nov. 12) and Boise State (Nov. 25).PREDICTION: With three of their toughest games at home and so much experience, the Falcons are set up to reach that finale against the Broncos with the division title in reach. Even if Boise State avenges last seasons loss to Air Force, it should be another typically successful season for Calhoun in his 10th year at the academy. The Falcons should easily match last seasons 8-4 regular season.
