Over the course of the offseason, as Earl Thomas III recovers from surgery to repair a torn labrum, we’ll be counting down the top five plays made by No. 29 from this past season.

Coming in fourth was another game-changing turnover: a fumble recovery made by ET that set the Seattle Seahawks off on a dominant victory over one of the league’s top offenses.

ET Top 5—No. 4: Eagle-Eyed Recovery

Last week, coming in at fifth on the ET Top 5 Countdown was a tide-turning interception pulled in by Earl, and at No. 4 was a similar play that spurred the Seahawks in victory during a crucial moment in the season. As Earl said after the win, it was a fun play on a fun day.

“I’m not really surprised about anything that this defense is capable of,” ET said. “We’re just having the time of our life. We’re just having fun. I think I might be the most uptight guy on the defense, but even I’m kind of dancing out there. My teammates have been so important in my growth and I love everything about this journey this year.”

On the opening play of the second half, the Philadelphia Eagles looked to their All-Pro running back, LeSean McCoy. Seattle held a 10-7 lead, but it was anyone’s game at this point—before the Hawks stepped up and claimed it as their own.

Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright stonewalled McCoy in the backfield and stripped the ball out of the Philly star’s grasp. A rugby-caliber pileup ensued, and Earl shot in from his free safety position, and he spotted the ball pinned underneath Wright’s back, when no one else on the field seemed to know where it was.

Without hesitation, No. 29 shot into the pile and came out the other side holding the ball triumphantly in the air.

The Seattle offense took over on the 19-yard line, and just two plays later, Russell Wilson linked up with Marshawn Lynch for a 15-yard score, making it 17-7, Seahawks.

Philadelphia managed to score on its next drive, when Mark Sanchez found tight end Zach Ertz for a spectacular scoring reception—but the Legion of Boom shut out the lights after that.

The Seahawks added another security score on their very next drive, and the game went scoreless from then on out. The Seattle offense had a strong day, going for 440 total yards while tallying 24 points, but ET and the L.O.B.’s domination of the Eagle offense was the difference in the game.

The Eagles managed just 139 total yards on the day—by far their lowest output of the season.

“Our defense came back again for the third week in a row and is just playing the way we hoped they would play, and they really set the stage for the game,” said Seattle head coach Pete Carroll. “We just settled down, made a couple real nice adjustments at halftime and everybody just played really good, solid football. Of course, the big turnover to start the thing was a big boost.”

Their second lowest was 213, which they posted in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.  Seattle was the only team to hold Philly under 200 yards, and the Eagles were only under 300 three times: the third coming in a 294-yard day the following week against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles were 9-3 before facing the Hawks, but the defeat sent them on a three-game losing streak—and Earl’s fumble recovery was undoubtedly the turning point in that game.

“It’s not thinking,” Earl said of his team’s performance against a lethal Eagles offense. “You just have fun. You show your passion. And then you let your eyes and your mind work for you. You don’t really try to second guess everything. You don’t get distracted by the moving pieces, because you understand clearly, what they’re trying to do to you.”

Meanwhile, that win came amid a dominant stretch for Seattle: an eight-game win streak that put them from on the fringe of making the playoffs to the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and eventually took them all the way to the Super Bowl.
