Turnovers set the tone for the big plays and the playmakers in Seattle’s 21-12 win over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Defense controlled the game on both sides.

Here’s a look at the top playmakers:

Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright: He had six tackles, one interception, two passes defensed and one forced fumble.

Seattle safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Justin Coleman. Coleman returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter and had three tackles, one quarterback pressure and one pass defensed. Thomas had 11 tackles.

Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee: The defense was strong overall, particularly trying to protect a short field. Lee led the way with 14 tackles and two tackles for loss. A tip of the hat goes to DeMarcus Lawrence who had a sack that resulted in a 22-yard loss.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott: Coming off a six-game suspension, Elliott gained 97 yards on 24 carries. His longest run was 9 yards.
