No 2 Seattle builds lead holds off winless Patriots By ROB GLOSTER AP Sports Writer OXBORO Mass The battle of the top two draft picks even close And for most of the game neither was the contest between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots Chris Warren ran for 174 yards and a touch his first NL touchdown before being knocked out with an eye injuiy late in the third quarter Stan Gelbaugh finished for the Seahawks does make me feel good to beat them because they were the only team to pass on said Mirer whose injury did not appear to be serious Bledsoe the top draft pick consistently threw behind and above receivers and was intercepted twice He was 20 for 44 for 240 yards and a touchdown but much of that added a 24 yard field goal The Patriots (0 3) got a 25 yard touch down pass from Bledsoe to tight end Ben Coates and a 4 yard scoring run by Sam Gash Warren who set a Seattle record with 36 carries became the third running back in as many weeks to gain more

Brian Blades caught a 4 yard scoring pass from Mirer and Warren had a 15 yard touchdown run for Seattle (1 2) John Kasay felt like said Warren who has accounted for 45 percent of offense this season easy to run when your offensive line is pushing their defense back off the line four and five yards" The Seahawks gained 209 yards on the ground and held the Patriots to 51 That translated into a huge advantage in posses sion with Seattle holding the ball for more than 38 minutes to just 22 for New England The only points of the first half came on the opening drive The Seahawks went 67 yards in 10 plays capping the drive with scoring pass to Blades Warren ran six times for 32 yards on the drive and Mirer scrambled for 19 yards on a third and 10 play at the New England 40 field goal which made
