NFL Analysis: Seattle’s Big Win More About Sloppiness
I don’t want to take anything away from the Seattle Seahawks. Their 29-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers was a big statement win , after the Niners had played so well in a Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers. And beyond all the “statement” stuff that doesn’t mean much in Week 2, the Seahawks’ win had a big practical effect, in giving them the early lead in a division race that may settle homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs and ultimately who wins the Super Bowl.
