Bio: The Seattle Seahawks are fast becoming the trendy team in the NFL. Entering the 2013 season they were considered to be the most talented team in the NFL, and have done nothing to disprove that theory since, playing this coming weekend in the NFC Championship game for the right to play in the Super Bowl. They have an enthusiastic coach in Pete Carroll, and a roster full of talent and attitude behind him.
Their defensive backs are the most skilled in the league, and have been nicknamed the “Legion of Boom” because of their ferocious style of play. Their running back, Marshawyn Lynch, is one of the most physical runners in the game, and carries the affectionate nickname “Skittles”, due to the fact that he eats a lot of skittles during games.
Beyond that, they have an exciting young quarterback in Russell Wilson, part of a new generation of smaller, faster quarterbacks who are able to run with the ball as well as throw it. However, the offensive play is not always exciting. The Seahawks were one of only two teams who ran the ball more than they passed in the 2013 season. Their style of play is brutal, tough, and sometimes boring for a newcomer to watch. But it is effective.
Seattle shares an intense rivalry with the San Francisco 49ers. As the two best teams in the NFC conference and division rivals, they play meaningful games against one another every year. The two are quite similar, with mobile quarterbacks and terrifying defenses, and it has made for some hard hitting games with no love lost. As a cherry on top, the two head coaches have a dislike for one another as well, going back to their days as coaches in the college ranks.
The Seahawks are blessed with a very passionate fan-base, some say notoriously so. They regularly defend their team with vigour on social media, and this past season they set the world record for noise level in an outdoor sports stadium. Twice. This is a sports franchise with no room for fans with half an interest. They are true fanatics and they behave that way.
