The Seattle Seahawks we all know and love today first burst onto the scene in 2012.
It was Russell Wilson’s first year. The defense wasn’t known for anything besides being unknown. They were coming off a pretty miserable 7-9 season–a typical Seahawks season.
The 2012 season was a good one, with the rookie quarterback showcasing his abilities and the defense finding their swagger; even naming themselves ‘the Legion of Boom’. They improved their win-loss record by four games, and even won a playoff game.
They defeated noteworthy opponents, including the New England Patriots, and made sure everyone knew about it.
