9-4-1. . Seattle Seahawks. 3. team. 36.

Good teams are supposed to trounce bad teams. And that’s what the Seahawks are and that’s what they did.

Even with those awful color-rush uniforms.

Seattle’s dominant 24-3 win over the Rams on Thursday Night Football might put a little bit of good feeling into cornerback Richard Sherman’s thoughts on Thursday night games. And it ensured the Seahawks would lock up the NFC West, paired with the Cardinals loss.

Quarterback Russell Wilson tossed three touchdowns against one interception and was only sacked twice.

And for those who haven’t noticed, wide receiver Tyler Lockett is a pretty special player.

The Seahawks won’t be able to edge the Cowboys for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. So don’t be too surprised to see head coach Pete Carroll and Co. put things into cruise control to finish off an easy remainder of the schedule.
