Barnwell: Seattle-Arizona is already an all-time talent rivalry

Things just don't get any easier for the Seattle Seahawks. When the Russell Wilson era began in 2012, they immediately developed a built-in rivalry with the division's strongest team, the brutally dominant San Francisco 49ers. After Wilson lost his first meeting against the Niners, he threw four touchdowns in a 41-13 rout in Week 16 of his rookie season. Seattle split its 2013 regular-season contests with San Francisco before famously vanquishing the 49ers in that postseason's NFC Championship Game (the "Sorry Receiver" game). Since that loss, the Niners have gone through three head coaches while posting a 13-19 record.
