Bonus rewind to the Seattle game:
The final-drive pass to Brian Quick got a lot of discussion after the game, and for good reason. Not only did Quick make a great adjustment to the ball, but Kirk stood up and delivered what he referred to in his press conference as “throwing blind” in the face of a brutal rush by Seattle defenders.

I didn’t hear as much discussion of an earlier throw by Kirk to Ryan Grant, but to me it showed a similar level of impressiveness, although it came earlier in the game, and wasn’t as highlighted.
