It’s no secret that the Seahawks offensive line was, let’s say, not the best over the past couple of years. We expected them to improve under Mike Solari, and they’ve done even better than we anticipated. At this point it’s pretty obvious they’re good enough to make the playoffs. There are plenty of reasons for their improvement, but probably none bigger – literally – than D.J. Fluker. So when he went down before the rematch with the Rams, the concern in Seattle was understandable.
As it turned out the Seahawks coaching staff knows a thing or two about football.
