Every team wants to get to the Super Bowl each year but some teams are more poised to make a legitimate run at the Lombardy Trophy than others.
NFL.com writer Adam Rank just published his “State of the Franchise” piece on the Seattle Seahawks, looking back at 2019 and ahead to 2020. One question he asked in the series is . . . for 2020 to be a successful season, the Seahawks must . . .?
“Make the Super Bowl? Yes, make the Super Bowl! You really don’t want to pin a Super Bowl or bust label on the Seahawks,” Rank writes. “But they would be one of the few teams in the NFL where, if they don’t make it to the game’s biggest stage, it has to seem like a bitter disappointment. Russell Wilson is the best quarterback in the NFC, having established himself as an annual MVP candidate in recent years (whether people realize it or not). Bailing out in the Divisional Round is getting old.”
“And why stop at Championship Sunday? Rank continues. “Just last season, Seattle beat the 49ers, Rams and Eagles – the NFC’s last three Super Bowl reps. It’s time for Russ, Bobby and Pete to return to the promised land.”
Rank’s entire “State of the Franchise” was a fun piece to read – you can find the whole article here.
