The NFL season is long, and the three-week mark isn’t yet time to panic. Unless you’re the Seattle Seahawks.
The last bits of joy of the Seahawks’ stirring Week 1 victory evaporated Sunday after Seattle lost a second straight game after holding a two-possession lead, a second straight game where the offense sputtered out after 30 minutes of a 60-minute contest.
That would be reason to worry even if the Seahawks were playing in the pathetic, doughy NFC East. But they’re out west, locked in a cage with three beasts who seem a whole lot hungrier than they are right now.
