Moral victories suck, because they’re not actual victories. They’re losses, and this one will probably prove fatal to the Seattle Seahawks’ chances to reclaim the NFC West title from the Los Angeles Usurpers Rams. Three games and a tie-breaker doesn’t look like a climbable mountain in 11 weeks’ time.
But Seattle probably beats 28 or 29 other NFL teams with last Sunday’s performance. And that has* to give you hope.
