It's almost noon in Seattle -- and perhaps halftime was enough to wake the Seahawks from their stupor. Russell Wilson marched his offense down the field for their first score of the day, a 29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Golden Tate.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
