Monday night the Seattle Seahawks moved into first place in the NFC West, sliding past the San Francisco 49ers via tiebreaker at the conclusion of their 37-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Wednesday the team was back to practice in preparation for the Los Angeles Rams. Or, at least they were on the field pretending to practice.
The 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement severely limits the amount of time teams may spend practicing compared to prior CBAs, and in particular over the final six weeks of the season, teams may hold no more than three padded practices.
