[Associated Press]

Marshawn Lynch's 67-yard "Beast Quake" touchdown run during the 2010 playoffs shook not only the city of Seattle but also the NFL hierarchy. With a punishing run game and a rising defense, the Seahawks were on the verge of becoming the NFL's next dynasty.

All they needed was a quarterback.

Matt Flynn was that guy. For six weeks. After signing the Packers backup in March 2012 and guaranteeing him millions of dollars, Seattle nabbed Russell Wilson in the third round of the draft.

In the seasons since, we've watched the Seahawks develop into a perennial Super Bowl contender.
