SEATTLE -- The ultra-optimistic view of the Seattle Seahawks' first two games was that they managed a 2-0 start despite not playing anything close to their best football. As Tyler Lockett wondered aloud after the opener: If they can win like that, imagine how dangerous they'd be when they're at their best.
The flip side of that: No team could expect to continue to overcome mistakes like the ones the Seahawks were making.
They exceeded that margin for error Sunday at CenturyLink Field, losing 33-27 to a New Orleans Saints team with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback.
