The Seattle Seahawks blew out the San Francisco 49ers to improve to 7-5 on the season, and they’re in very good position to make the playoffs given how results in other games played out this week.
We are going to ignore all of that for a moment and acknowledge the importance of that late stand by the Seahawks defense in garbage time. You may have thought that Kyle Shanahan’s absurd fixation on getting consolation points was an infuriating waste of time.
Not for Pete Carroll. Not for Ken Norton Jr. Not for anyone on the Seahawks defense.
