Bust out the champagne, 12’s. This past Thursday, Seattle’s triumphant victory in Super Bowl XLVIII reached it’s ninth anniversary. The lone Lombardi won by the Seahawks stands as the crowning achievement of the franchise, and still worthy of celebration.
Wind the clocks back to the 2013 season. The Seahawks were a trendy pick to take the next step. With ferocious defense, a monstrous ground attack, and a young, exciting quarterback, the Seahawks had built a bully in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle lived up to the billing, and then some. The Legion of Boom became arguably the greatest single season defense in NFL history, as the Seahawks worked their way to a 13-3 record.
