"Of course, that appearance in the big game against Tom Brady, or perhaps more notably, Malcolm Butler, didn't go as well as their matchup with the Denver Broncos a year prior. Yes, that would be the final Super Bowl trip for Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, and the "Legion of Boom," but if you can think back to that overtime defeat of the Packers, it meant a ton for the organization and their standing around the league."
"In January 2024, at 36-years-old, Seattle made Mike Macdonald their head coach. He had been the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens and the Michigan Wolverines, and league-wide, it was a respectable hire. In year one, he gave the Seahawks their first double-digit win season since 2020 and took one of the league's bottom-three defenses in 2023 to a nearly top-ten unit in 2024."
Eleven years ago the Seahawks rallied from a 19-7 deficit with just over two minutes remaining to beat the Packers 28-22 in overtime in the NFC Championship. That comeback cemented Seattle as a conference powerhouse and preceded postseason runs where only future conference champions Carolina and Atlanta eliminated them. The subsequent Super Bowl appearance against Tom Brady and Malcolm Butler ended poorly and became the final Super Bowl trip for Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, and the Legion of Boom. In January 2024 Seattle hired 36-year-old Mike Macdonald as head coach; in year one he transformed a bottom-three 2023 defense into a near top-ten unit and delivered the team's first double-digit win season since 2020. A win over the Rams would further elevate the franchise and Macdonald's league-wide status.
