The potential of Earl Thomas' 106-game starting streak coming to an end versus the Buccaneers was one of the biggest Seahawks stories all week long, but Thomas wasn't the only ironman sidelined in Tampa.
Though he was not among the team's inactive players Sunday, third-year center Justin Britt won't start for the first time in his career after suffering an ankle injury in last week's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Britt had started all 42 regular seasons games in his career after joining Seattle as a second-round pick in 2014.
Seahawks GM John Schneider told 710 ESPN Seattle rookie sixth-round pick Joey Hunt would earn the first start of his career versus Tampa Bay.
