Sweetness in Seattle as Seahawks Stun Saints

Since the Seattle Seahawks defeated the St. Louis Rams in Week 17 to win the NFC West, their mere presence in the NFL postseason has been ridiculed. After all, the Seahawks became the first team in NFL history to win their division with an overall losing record (7-9) in a non-strike season heading into the playoffs. Despite their meager efforts, they still got to host a playoff game against, of all teams, the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. Even that was ludicrous. Not only had the Saints have a better winning record than the Seahawks with a +4 win differential, New Orleans already beat them earlier in the regular season 34-19. Everything was going the Saints’ way, until the game got started. Now, it is the Seahawks getting the last laugh as they upset the Saints 41-36 on Saturday.

So forget Starbucks, the Seahawks’ victory proved to be Seattle’s best.
