Seattle has finally put the 2015 Super Bowl behind them. Strong core leadership from Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner et al has helped build up an indomitable young core, and the Seahawks appear to have turned a corner.

The announcement of Seattle’s selection as one of eight inaugural XFL franchises was made Wednesday during a suitably ostentatious presentation in New Jersey.

The Seahawks paid tribute to their former teammate Richard Sherman in his return to Centurylink Field. Then, they showed the NFL that they are much more than a 'middle of the road' team.

The Seahawks host the 49ers on Sunday with cornerback Richard Sherman returning. Will it be a "lovefest" or will there be boos? “He pushes the boundaries because he sees beyond what a lot of people see," coach Pete Carroll said.
