You have to pay attention to the Los Angeles Rams. The New England Patriots might pull off a massive surprise. The Green Bay Packers are no sleeper. The Kansas City Chiefs? It's still a little crazy to write them off, isn't it? And the Buffalo Bills — if it's not KC's year, it should be theirs. What about the Seattle Seahawks? They're in this group, right?
This "group" lays out Super Bowl contenders, and yes, the Seahawks should have regular mention in this conversation like the above teams. Sam Darnold's past brings legitimate reservations, of course, and that's fair.
