2. Seattle Seahawks
Seattle’s uniforms literally helped highlight a strong performance Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. It was a big win, too, a much-needed checkmate toward a 49ers squad that suffered its second loss of the season.
Minnesota played well, with the typical “hey, if this or that goes our way…maybe Kirk gets his first MNF win.” But the Seahawks were the more resilient team, aided by the 12th man at home, and they made the plays while the Vikings didn’t.
Now, the Seahawks sit in the front row of the NFC next to San Fran. And while that leaves a lot of intrigue and unknowns the rest of the season, this much we do know: If you “mic up” Russell Wilson, expect him to repeat things in threes, sometimes fours. And don’t sleep on the Seahawks’ offensive line. The run blocking against the Vikings was top-level stuff, and the pass protection was just as impressive.
And just look at this effort in the open space!
So nice, Penny did it twice! 💰
