Where it all went wrong in Seahawks' legendary defensive run

It's unfair to say that the roster moves the Seahawks have made and are about to make with their defense this offseason mark the end of the Legion of Boom, if only because that sells the rest of a dynasty short. This is the end -- at least for now -- of a Seattle defense that perennially seemed like a threat to get healthy and run off a six-game stretch in which it allowed 39 points, as it did at the end of 2014. It's the end of a defense that seemed to routinely come up with moments of absolute magic to save its struggling offense's bacon.
