Win Over Lowly Rams Does Little To Alleviate Questions Surrounding Seahawks
On Thursday night in Seattle, the Seahawks did what they were supposed to. They dispatched the cellar-dwelling Los Angeles Rams 24-3 to move to 9-4-1 and wash off some of the stink from last week's blowout loss at Green Bay.
The Seahawks also did what they needed to, trouncing a bad football team to keep the heat on the Detroit Lions (I know—it felt weird typing it too) for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
But the win wasn't as impressive between the lines as it was on the scoreboard. This was an opportunity for the Seahawks to make a real statement after the Dallas Cowboys stumbled last Sunday night. To send a message that they, and not the Cowboys or Lions, are the team to beat in the NFC.
