RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks need only dip into their own history to see how dramatically things can change from one week to the next in the NFL.
In a three-week span in 1979, Seattle beat Atlanta on a Monday night while gaining 411 yards, lost to the Rams the following Sunday while being held to minus-7 yards (still an NFL record for offensive futility) and then beat Cleveland 29-24 while gaining 427 yards (and to make things even more bizarre, the Atlanta and Cleveland games were on the road, the faceplant against the Rams in the Kingdome).
