Big Catch, Let's Headbutt
On third-and-three from their own 45 with just under three minutes left in the game, the Seahawks threw the ball (the second pass play of the drive) down the sideline to Doug Baldwin. He made the catch and in the process had his helmet ripped off. It was a huge play in the game (after review upheld...

The Secret Of The Seahawks' Defense? Fouling, Maybe
The Wall Street Journal has a fascinating look at the dominant Seahawks secondary, which seems to have been able to turn just about everyone into a star. Part of that is the remarkable amount of pressure they bring, but another part—perhaps—is as brilliant as it is simple. Maul receivers, because th...
How The Seahawks' NFL-Best Defense Runs On Pressure
The Seattle Seahawks have the league's most dominant defense, one that prides itself on brutality—usually legal, but not always—and turnovers. The catalyst for all those interceptions and fumbles is an uncommon defensive scheme that prioritizes one thing above all others: Pressure....
Hey, It's Three Years (And A Day) Since Marshawn Lynch Went Beast Mode
Three-year anniversaries aren't usually news pegs. (Three years and a day, even less so, but hey, we were busy.) Saturday's Saints-Seahawks playoff rematch makes it a little more defensible. But let's be honest—we don't really need reason to want to revisit and marvel over Marshawn Lynch's incredibl...

Seattle Car Dealership Owes 12 People $35K Because Giants Got Shut Out
Eli Manning and the Giants are a terrible gag gift that keeps on giving. After their loss to the Seahawks yesterday, in which Eli threw five interceptions and New York was shut out at home for the first time in almost 20 years, a Seattle area car dealership has to pay out $420,000....
Texas Rangers Draft Russell Wilson (Yes, That One)
In today's Rule 5 draft, which allows teams to snatch up other teams' minor leaguers not on a 40-man roster but with a certain amount of service time, the Rangers took Russell Wilson, second baseman. He's probably not going to make much of an impact for Texas: he's got a pretty good football career ...
The Mariners May Have Bid Against Themselves For Robinson Cano

Based on my ...
