Over the first month of the season, Seattle averaged a stellar 35 points per game and QB Russell Wilson could do virtually no wrong, throwing 16 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions. Each week it seemed the Seahawks would score in bunches, but their opponent would without fail mount a great comeback only to fall short as the fourth quarter ended. Rinse and repeat.
But then week five came, and one could argue that Seattle has not been the same since. Seattle hosted Minnesota in a rematch of last year’s thrilling MNF game, and unfortunately for Seattle, this game was just as thrilling despite the Vikings carrying a dismal 1-3 record at the time.
