Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks started their 2020 NFL campaign with 5 straight wins. The veteran quarterback was an early front-runner for the NFL MVP award alongside Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes. But a midseason slump saw them finish the regular season with a 12-4 record.
That was enough for them to be crowned NFC West champions. However, their post-season run came to a shock halt in the Wild Card Round itself. Sean McVay’s Los Angeles Rams put on a defensive masterclass to beat the Seahawks by a 20-30 scoreline.
The Rams could not put together a deep playoff run themselves, losing to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers a week later. But after a busy offseason, both teams will be eager to earn NFC West bragging rights in 2021.

“Let’s face it when you look at the overall team, the Rams are a better overall team than the Seattle Seahawks….I think that’s gonna put Russell Wilson under a microscope, people are going to be paying attention to how he performs because you can’t come out and criticize your team for not doing certain things and not valuing your input if you’re not going out there and producing at a high level.”
“So Russell Wilson, there’ll be a lot of eyeballs on him. This is a team that won the division last year, people are still going to be expecting the Seattle Seahawks to be right there in that conversation in 2021,” Canty said on the show.
