The End of the Streak

An NFL-record streak ended today with the Seahawks' loss to the Steelers. Shaun Alexander had had a run of at least ten yards in 68 consecutive games.

But not today.

Alexander's longest run, which came late in the fourth quarter, was only eight yards.

He rushed for 25 yards on 11 carries, his worst game since 11/17/02 at Denver, when he had 18 yards on 11 carries.

But, as Alexander himself stated in "The Road to a Blessed Life," a chapter in his autobiography, we must "Leave the results to God."

As you'll read everywhere, it was the first time Hawks had been shutout since 2000.

Ugh.
