Before the Seahawks' three-game win streak that's featured perhaps the best play of Russell Wilson's career, some fans blamed the quarterback's high profile relationship with pop star Ciara for a ho-hum start to the season.
During the offseason, Wilson and Ciara turned into one of the most visible couples in the NFL, making headlines when they appeared together at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Sports Awards in July and when Wilson threw a surprise Halloween/30th birthday party for Ciara that had the couple donning Batman costumes in October.
