Well, the ‘83 Raiders destroyed the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. And Washington was the defending Super Bowl Champion with the league’s number ranked offense; - and had set the record for most points scored in a season.
Redskins were the SB champs in the previous year? Did they have the best offensive record in the following year when they lost the SB?
Regardless, Seahawks were branded having no players with SB experience, Payton Manning was praised incessantly by football pundits on pre-game TV, citing he was MVP for 2013, had the most passing yards ever in THIS season and 55 TD’s in THIS season, blah, blah, blah.
We have a young team here in Seattle, and we are celebrating!
