And if it turns out that this pivotal performance is the start of a true renaissance -- and, perhaps, the start of another assault on a championship -- let the record show that the seeds of resurgence were sown in a walk-through last Thursday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Literally.
During an otherwise mundane indoor practice session, All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas noticed some of the team's defensive linemen sharing sunflower seeds -- and brought the thunder for all to hear. Viewing the seeds as a sign of insufficient focus, Thomas began admonishing a couple of much larger teammates, and soon he was face to face with several defensive linemen, some of whom were similarly expressive.
The argument escalated, devolving into a referendum concerning each unit's performance in recent weeks, as the Seahawks slipped to 6-4 and fell three games behind the Cardinals in the division standings. The talk got real, and then it got productive -- and, in the end, Thomas and his fellow defenders ended up in a better mental place.
