NOTES:
—Of course workhorse Kurt Coleman played every snap after sitting out Week 17.
—As expected, Robert McClain was in for every defensive play as the No. 2 corner.
—Because Seattle needed to throw after digging a huge hole, the Panthers were in nickel most of the way. That meant Cortland Finnegan played all but four snaps. Those went to Shaq Thompson, who played 39 two weeks ago.
—Tre Boston was expected to spell Roman Harper a good bit, but that rotation lasted four snaps.
—Kawann Short played 54 of 67 snaps. That, folks, is a three-down tackle.
—Despite breaking a bone in his foot during the fourth quarter, Jared Allen played the final two series.
