Seahawks’ rewind: Finally healthy, but still not good enough

OTPB NFL predictions: Week 10
— outsidethepressbox.com — There’s been a lot of debate this season about which NFL team is the worst, and I’m going to throw my hat in and go with the Cleveland Browns.

Seahawks’ pre-game primer: The gang’s all here!
— outsidethepressbox.com — For the Seahawks, this is what you might call a makeup game. As in, it’s their chance to make up ground they have lost in the NFC West since Week 1.
