It was, said Bobby Wagner, an ugly win by the Seahawks — a frank assessment for which wide receiver Tyler Lockett had a slightly franker amendment.
“It was a very ugly win,’’ Lockett said, and then smiled.
“But if we can win playing like that, then imagine what we can do while playing at our best.”
The game was a Rorschach test, of sorts, this 21-20 Seattle triumph over Cincinnati at Century Link Field that hung in the balance all afternoon, and was not locked up until the final seconds.
Should your primary takeaway be the win, or the ugly?
