MIAMI (AP) - Even for the Seattle Seahawks, the mid-game shower was a novelty.

A computer glitch caused stadium lawn sprinklers to douse the Seahawks and Miami Dolphins during the third quarter Sunday. The computer was erroneously working on its Saturday schedule, a Dolphins spokesman said.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said the Seahawks were unfazed.

"I think they're used to the rain," he said.

On a cloudless afternoon, the sprinklers came on between plays and covered most of the field, drawing a cheer from an amused crowd and prompting a brief delay. The sprinklers were quickly turned off, and players toweled off before the action resumed.

"I never saw that before, not even in high school," Miami receiver Davone Bess said. "It was pretty cool."

  Best part of the game

  The sprinklers were probably the funniest thing I have seen in my years of watching NFL. It was definitely the best part of that game. Hopefully, the defense will show up for next week's game.

  It was my fault

  I was at Buffalo Wild Wings when I mentioned how cool it would be if the sprinklers came on.
