Landover, Maryland, and Seattle, Washington, are almost 3,000 miles apart, but in the NFL’s early window on Sunday, a lot of Seattle Seahawks fans’ attention was directed toward that East Coast town. That’s where something like a reunion was taking place.
The greatest linebacker in Seahawks’ history was engaged in battle with Seattle’s most successful coach and their most recent playoff quarterback.
Pete Carroll took his Geno Smith-led Las Vegas Raiders to Landover to challenge Bobby Wagner and the Washington Commanders. Appropriately enough, given the history these men have with the Seahawks, the game took place in Northwest Stadium.
