Seahawks 2013 team is franchise’s best of Super Bowl era

CBS Sports ranks the Seattle Seahawks 2013 team as the franchise’s best of the Super Bowl era.

Recently, Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports put together his list of every NFL franchise’s best team of the Super Bowl era and the 2013 Seahawks made the cut for Seattle.

Winning the Super Bowl that year, the Seahawks finished the season with a 16-3 overall record.

“Matched up against one of the most statistically dominant offenses in NFL history, the Seahawks’ “Legion of Boom” defense held Peyton Manning and the Broncos to just eight points,” DeArdo writes. “The Seahawks’ offense put together five scoring drives while helping Seattle capture its first-ever Super Bowl title.”

“The Seahawks’ defense, a unit that allowed an average of 14.4 points per game during the regular season, was anchored by cornerback Richard Sherman, safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive ends Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett,” DeArdo recounts. “Seattle’s offense featured three Pro Bowlers in quarterback Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch (1,257 yards, 12 touchdowns) and center Max Unger.”

Coach Pete Carroll will try his best to put together another Super-Bowl-winning team with a whole new squad when the players report to training camp on July 26.

WATCH: Jets set unique scoring record with third straight win

The Jets (4-7) are the first team in the Super Bowl era to score 34 points in three straight games, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

A 1-7 start to the season for the Jets included starting three different quarterbacks in three weeks. In Week 12, New York (4-7) set a unique offensive record following its third consecutive win.

Quarterback Sam Darnold missed three games (and the team’s bye week) from Week 2 to Week 5 because of mono, but in the three wins in which the Jets offense scores 34 points, Darnold has 838 passing yards and seven touchdowns (one interception). The 22-year-old has completed 58 of 89 pass attempts over the course of those three wins.

The Jets face two of the NFL’s worst teams in succession, playing the Bengals (0-11) in Week 13 then the Dolphins (2-9) in Week 14, so there is a real chance that they keep their win streak going … even if the 34-point streak ends.
