The Dynasty That Never Was: Inside the Unraveling of the Seattle Seahawks

Sports Illustrated (09/07/2018)
  • The Seahawk’s success (2014-2015 Super bowl appearances, 2014 Champions) was largely thanks to its fierce “Legion of Boom” defense spearheaded by Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor.
  • Former Seahawks players detail how head coach Pete Carrol’s preferential treatment of quarterback Russell Wilson fractured the team.
  • Before Wilson’s arrival (2012), players used “tough love” to bring the best out of each other.
  • However, Carroll allegedly forbade them from being hard on Wilson.
  • Seahawks never recovered from Wilson’s game-ending 2015 Super Bowl interception.
