I’m not gonna mince words, this was an ugly football game. As the NFL moves more and more towards the singularity of perfect efficiency, we tend to judge games like this pretty negatively. The fact is, no great team, no matter how good they are from a historical perspective, goes a whole season without having to grind out brutal wins along the way. Even the 2013 Seahawks, whose greatness was amplified by a Super Bowl blowout, army-crawled their way to a handful of regular season wins when things weren’t clicking. This was one of those days.
Cigar Thoughts, Game 11: Seahawks win ugly, which is fine! Sometimes you have to do that!
