Quote:Wilson, in a career that spans 52 regular-season and playoff games, has never lost a game by double digits.The closest they've come was week two this season, when the Chargers beat them by nine. The last time the Seahawks lost by more than nine points was November of 2011, when they lost by 10 to Dallas a week after losing by 22 to Cincy.
I'm not sure how often such streaks occur (a good defense and good run game would seem to offer that chance, and it's a combination that hasn't been rare in the NFL) but it's a testament to how well they've played week in and week out over the last three years.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
