Seahawks took extreme precaution against Patriots in preparation for Super Bowl

The main NFL storyline this morning is the in-depth report on the Patriots' Spygate and Deflategate scandals from ESPN. Another report from Sports Illustrated breaks down how most, if not all, NFL teams view the Patriots as willing and able to bend the rules, or break them outright, in an effort to get a competitive advantage. That report detailed how the Seahawks prepared for their Super Bowl matchup with a team that was, at the time, embroiled in an investigation that they cheated.

According to Greg Bishop, Michael Rosenberg, and Thayer Evans:

Multiple teams called Seattle, unsolicited, with advice on how to secure the team's practices for the Super Bowl.
