The Seahawks poured it on the Saints in Week 3, giving New Orleans a franchise-altering beat down in the first half alone.

Seattle’s lead wide receiver was sick Saturday, but well enough Sunday. Not so for three key players in the defensive secondary.

Seattle’s wide receiver and new punt returner sparked a 38-point first half in a runaway from the New Orleans Saints. What knee surgery?

Walker’s second short TD run capped a four-play, 76-yard drive that made it 35-3, and Jason Myers added a 56-yard field goal before halftime. Seattle led 38-6 at the break for the second-highest-scoring half in franchise history.

The Seattle Seahawks still have a few minutes to play, but their total embarrassment of the New Orleans Saints is all but complete. With 12:45 to go in the fourth quarter, the team has taken out starting quarterback Sam Darnold and subbed in their backup Drew Lock. They lead the Saints by a score of 44-13.

The 2013 Seahawks held the Carolina Panthers (eventual NFC No. 2 seed) to 7 points in Charlotte, stymied the San Francisco 49ers (NFC Championship runner-up) to 3 points in Seattle, and dispatched the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars in a 45-17 blowout. Naturally, the 2-14 Houston Texans broke the streak but still lost 23-20 in overtime.
