All season we’ve talked about how these aren’t the same Seahawks, not like the 2012-2015 teams. Those teams had dominant run games and played oxygen-depriving defense. Those teams had swagger and attitude and seized momentum and peaked at the right time. This team had done none of that, or at least not with consistency over any significant length of time. This Seahawks team got here by hook and crook and just didn’t seem prepared for another postseason run.
Then tonight happened. With Century Link Field pulsing like a giant speakerbox, the 2016 Seattle Seahawks put on an absolute show.
