Sorry, but this wasn’t the game that will get me all giddy about the Seahawks’ fortunes, or wax enthusiastically about their glorious return to form.
Oh, sure, Seattle’s 24-3 victory over the Rams in Poopalooza ’16 was another testament to bone-crushing defense, and it featured an encouraging return to form by Russell Wilson, his ill-advised pass into heavy traffic in the fourth quarter notwithstanding.
And it came with its own built-in reward, namely a division title that bodes well for the Seahawks’ future, at least theoretically – even though it’s as much a testament to the ineptitude of their division brethren as their dominance.
