What are the Seahawks watching now that the week is normal?
They undoubtedly watched the Eagles and 49ers games on Sunday since they are Seattle’s next two opponents, but more than that, it’s about showing the football community that this team is better than what we witnessed on Thanksgiving night.
After all, the playoffs are still reachable despite a current three-game losing streak and two incredibly difficult games remaining.
