CLEVELAND — So what’s the Seahawks’ reward for matching the second-best start in their 44-year history?
At the moment, only second place in their own division.
While Seattle was undoubtedly enjoying its 32-28 win over the Browns Sunday and a 5-1 start that matches the 2003 and 2013 teams (the 2003 team then lost its next game, while the 2013 team went 11-1) as it flew home, the Seahawks also saw the 49ers had stomped the Rams and are now 5-0, and at this point have to be given serious consideration as the best team in the NFC.
