The Legion of Boom might not be any longer and Marshawn Lynch might not provide the franchise with comedic relief but the Seattle Seahawks are still a dangerous football franchise to match up against regardless of their competition. Earlier this season, many football and analysts and fans alike counted the Seahawks out but, with a surge late in the NFL season that allowed the team to clinch an NFC Wild Card position.
Unfortunately, the Seahawks lost in the final remaining seconds of the game to the Dallas Cowboys eliminating Russell Wilson and the Hawks from possibly making a third Super Bowl appearance in five years. Since the arrival of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson, the Seahawks have been thriving and will remain a playoff contender as long as the two are on the same page. The Seattle Seahawks rank 18th in fan equity, 8th in social equity, and 25th in road equity.
