SEATTLE -- With a downward gaze and a hushed voice in his postgame news conference on Sunday, linebacker Bobby Wagner looked and sounded like a player discussing an 0-3 start.
In fact, his Seattle Seahawks had just improved to 3-0 and moved into first place in the NFC West with their 38-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys. But that victory, like the Seahawks' first two, was much more in spite of their defense than because of it -- even with that unit coming up with game-saving plays in consecutive weeks.
"It's not something I am accustomed to," Wagner said.
