The Seahawks were unexpectedly punched in the mouth by the Rams in Week 1, leading to many overreactions about Geno Smith and Seattle’s talented offense.
Perhaps the Seahawks were feeling themselves a little too much in the season-opening loss after surprising many last year by making the postseason, and being declared by the football pundits as the winners of the Russell Wilson trade.
