I don't know what defence is, but defense can be used as both a noun and a verb.

Definition of DEFENSE

According to Webster it is not a verb in any way. And frankly I cannot remember it being used as a verb until Aikman and Buck got into the FOX commentating booth.

BTW, defence is the UK English spelling, defense is the US English spelling for the word (similar to colour vs color). And also in the UK, defence is strictly a noun, and the associated verb is to defend.

RW is 2 of 4 and both incompletions are INT's....so he's really 4 of 4.

The Seahawks fans are being cowards. Hiding on their own board.

Aikman making excuses for Seattle with the field. Hey Troy, both teams are playing on the same field and one of them is doing very well. It isn't the field's fault
