Seattle 34 New Orleans 7 :lifter
First NFL game I attended in about five years and what a game! I grew up going to Saints games but I've been in the Pacific Northwest for a long time and had my 12th Man jersey. No split loyalties tonight. Sure, we broke the stadium noise record again (won't be able to talk tomorrow), but we also caused a minor earthquake. Again.

Jumping fans register a magnitude 1 or 2 quake during Seahawks TD fumble return
Seahawks fans jumping up and down during Monday night’s 22-yard Michael Bennett fumble return for a touchdown registered about a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake.
The University of Washington has a seismometer in a warehouse about a block south of CenturyLink Field, says earth and space sciences professor John Vidale.
The earthquake-like vibration can be seen in the blue wave in this graphic.
The same seismometer captured Marshawn Lynch’s “Beast Quake” on Jan. 8, 2011, when he rumbled for a 67-yard touchdown run that clinched a 41-36 playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints.
