RENTON, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks already knew they'd have a tough schedule with the most miles traveled of any NFL team this season.
And when some Seahawks got word of additional details of their 2022 slate, they couldn't believe how much tougher it really was. Four straight road games? No bye week after their trip to Germany? Playing on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day?
If all that sounds too unfair to be true, it's because it was part of a prank the Seahawks pulled on a handful of players. In a video the team posted to Twitter on Thursday, a few hours before the NFL's actual schedule release, tight end Will Dissly helps spread the fake details to incredulous -- and in the case of safety Quandre Diggs, indignant -- teammates.
