Paul Allen’s passing ends Seahawks’ afterglow of hugely successful trip to London

Hours after they landed folllowing an epic trek home from a franchise high point, a hugely successful week then win in London, the Seahawks got rocked with a tremendous loss.

Paul Allen’s passing Monday at the age of 65 from complications from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma means the franchise has lost the beloved man who kept the team from moving to Southern California in 1996—then kept the football people in charge of his football team.

Players, coaches, the general manager and the team’s staff truly admired Allen for what he did for the world.

They respected and appreciated him for letting the football people do the football.
