Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba concentrates on the ball during early warmups in front of an empty Lumen Field on game day morning. Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett sported these custom cleats during pregame, in honor of the baby that he and his wife Lauren are expecting.

The Seahawks look like a team that can not only win the NFC West but do so convincingly. There's one major reason why they've turned things around and can contend.
