Pete Carroll’s Seattle Seahawks got off to a flying start in September as they started the season with a 5-game winning streak. Russell Wilson barged his way into the NFL MVP conversation early on, along with Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen.
But their form dipped midway through the season after falling to 2 consecutive losses (Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams). But the Seahawks recovered from that point and ended their regular season with 4 wins on the trot.
