The Super Bowl window for Russell Wilson and his team hasn’t closed yet but their offensive line needs to get up to speed before their defensive stars fade
One yard. One yard is all that stood between the Seattle Seahawks becoming the first NFL team to win back-to-back Super Bowl since the 2003-2004 New England Patriots. One yard is all the Seahawks needed to launch a mini-dynasty.
Two years later, after some combination of Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell conspired to throw Super Bowl XLIX away and into the hands of Malcolm Butler, the Seahawks are a lot further than one-yard from greatness. Last season’s attempt to get back to the Super Bowl for a third year in a row ended two rounds short in Carolina with a 31-24 defeat that featured a furious comeback from a 31-0 deficit. This year’s effort also ended in the divisional round, but in a 16-point defeat that saw the Seahawks get thoroughly outplayed by the Falcons – a team coached by Dan Quinn, Seattle’s defensive coordinator during their two Super Bowl seasons.
