Unmitigated disaster. The loss to the Arizona Cardinals in week six hurt. It rattled the Seattle Seahawks, who were previously perched atop the NFC West. They were shaken, but in week seven the Hawks rebounded with a defense-powered divisional win over the San Francisco 49ers. And for a minute, it seemed like the Hawks had figured it out.
And then wheels fell off…
First, in week eight, the Seahawks flew across the country only to be demolished by the Buffalo Bills. The Seattle defense looked slow, confused, and amateur while quarterback, Russell Wilson’s out-of-sync offense seemed to be forcing plays that just weren’t there and causing turnovers instead.
