Once the Seattle Seahawks reached the Super Bowl, the comparison to 2013 became almost automatic. Not only because that team won Super Bowl 48 in dominant fashion, but because it set a historical benchmark for the franchise — a reference point for identity, roster construction, and on-field execution.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold’s Thursday practice for Super Bowl 60 was probably as encouraging as it gets regarding his oblique injury. Just before the NFC Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers, Darnold hurt his oblique and was questionable to play, but soldiered through and played a clean game in what was otherwise a […]
