Kam Chancellor intercepted Cam Newton and the Seahawks got a field goal out of it to increase their lead.
The Seahawks and the crowd at CenturyLink Field were still reveling in their flea-flicker touchdown when the defense came up with another turnover.
The Seahawks pressured quarterback Cam Newton, which hurried his pass and allowed Chancellor to come up with the ball at the Panthers 34-yard line. After that pass, Newton’s passer rating stood at 4.7.
The Seahawks gained only one yard on the ensuing drive, but Steven Hauschka continued his perfect season by nailing a 50-yard field goal with 8:54 to go in the third quarter.
