Good morning, 12s. Happy Victory Monday! Here's a look at what's happening today – Monday, Dec. 21 – for your Seattle Seahawks.
What's Being Said: Seahawks 20, Washington 15
The Seahawks traveled to the East Coast for the fifth and final time of the season and returned home with another key win. Sunday's victory was all about the defense, which had two interceptions (D.J. Reed and Shaquill Griffin) and four sacks (Jamal Admas, Carlos Dunlap II, L.J. Collier, Alton Robinson). On offense, the Seahawks rushed for 181 yards and an impressive 7.0 yards per carry. Now sitting at 10-4, the Seahawks can clinch the NFC West with a win against the Rams at Lumen Field in Week 16.
