Recently, Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports put together his list of every NFL franchise’s best team of the Super Bowl era and the 2013 Seahawks made the cut for Seattle.
Winning the Super Bowl that year, the Seahawks finished the season with a 16-3 overall record.
“Matched up against one of the most statistically dominant offenses in NFL history, the Seahawks’ “Legion of Boom” defense held Peyton Manning and the Broncos to just eight points,” DeArdo writes. “The Seahawks’ offense put together five scoring drives while helping Seattle capture its first-ever Super Bowl title.”

“The Seahawks’ defense, a unit that allowed an average of 14.4 points per game during the regular season, was anchored by cornerback Richard Sherman, safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive ends Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett,” DeArdo recounts. “Seattle’s offense featured three Pro Bowlers in quarterback Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch (1,257 yards, 12 touchdowns) and center Max Unger.”
Coach Pete Carroll will try his best to put together another Super-Bowl-winning team with a whole new squad when the players report to training camp on July 26.
