In a closely contested Christmas Eve football game, the Seattle Seahawks secured a late victory over the Tennessee Titans with a final score of 20-17. The Seahawks' Jason Myers was good from 28 yards, contributing to their score. The Titans initially took the lead with a field goal by Nick Folk, making it 10-3 at halftime. However, the Seahawks fought back in the second half, with Geno Smith leading a game-winning drive capped by a touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson, putting the Seahawks ahead 13-10 with 12:10 left, and eventually leading 20-17 with just 57 seconds remaining. Despite the Titans' efforts, they were unable to recover, with Tannehill taking two critical sacks on the final possession. The Seahawks' victory bolsters their playoff chances as they improve to an 8-7 record.

Tennessee's red zone defense proving worth its rep so far as Titans stop Seahawks again, this time at the 8, to force a field goal....

Second half is underway with Seattle using a good Dallas return and a personal foul on Tennessee's Garret Wallow to start with good field position --- Live: Updates: Seahawks trail Titans 10-3 at halftime https://t.co/wPo5xUYhc6 via @seattletimes
Boye Mafe sack on third down. That'll take it to halftime. Titans lead 10-3.
Seahawks pass completion on third down appeared to take them out of field goal range and Dickson in to punt instead. Titans punned back at their 7 and may be content to get to halftime here.Seattle has just one time out.

Titans get a field goal out of the drive to extend their lead to 10-3 with 3:18 left in the half.
Nick Folk from 33 is good, #Titans increase lead to 10-3 over Seahawks.
Seahawks get the stop in the red zone, at least.... Tennessee might have gone to trick play well one time too many there. Folk 33-yard FG attempt is good and Titans lead it 10-3 with 3:18 to play in first half.
