And so were the LOB-esque good times.
Not that the two were necessarily related.
But with Sherman (and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith) making a return to CenturyLink Field, the Seahawks turned in a performance that felt an awful lot like 2013 in demolishing the 49ers, 43-16.
They did so with four touchdown passes from Russell Wilson — the first three punctuated by gleeful receiver celebrations, the first replicating Sherman’s famous tip that beat the 49ers in the 2013 NFC title game.
The Seahawks then capped it off with a 98-yard interception return for a touchdown by Bobby Wagner, the longest in team history, breaking the record of 94 by Brandon Browner against the Giants in 2011.
