Bobby Wagner spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Seahawks, becoming an integral part of the community and city of Seattle. On Sunday, he returned to Lumen Field as an opponent for the first time and nearly helped the Rams pull off an upset win to bounce the Seahawks from playoff contention.
They came up just short, and after the loss, Seahawks fans showed Wagner a ton of love. They gave him a standing ovation as he was walking off the field, paying respect to a Seattle legend in his return to the Emerald City. Check out the video below.

In his return to Seattle, Wagner made seven tackles, landed one hit on Geno Smith and also had a tackle for a loss, which was a terrific play on a run by Kenneth Walker up the middle.
After seeing what Wagner accomplished in Year 1 with the Rams, it’s easy to see why he was so beloved in Seattle.
