Half-Time Report: Seattle Seahawks in control against New Orleans Saints

Touchdowns from Michael Bennett, Zach Miller and Doug Baldwin have helped the Seattle Seahawks rack up a 27-7 half-time lead over the New Orleans Saints at ​CenturyLink Field.

Steven Hauschka get the scoreboard working with a 26-yard field goal, before Cliff Avril forced a fumble out of Drew Brees, allowing Bennett to run into the endzone.

The Seahawks were in the endzone again soon after, as Russell Wilson found Miller for a three-yard score.

Six minutes into the second quarter, Brees went some way to making up for his earlier error as he fired a strike to Jimmy Graham for a two-yard touchdown.

However, the hosts restored their comfortable advantage as Hauschka nailed another field goal before Baldwin added a third touchdown with 13 seconds of the half remaining.
