PLAYERS: Richard Sherman,  Pete Carroll,  Earl Thomas,  Russell Wilson
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks thoroughly enjoyed their 42-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers Sunday night.

The Seahawks trounced the 49ers, but Pete Carroll didn’t run up the score as much as he could have, so I suppose that counts as a win for civility and a triumph of the holiday spirit.

The Green Bay Packers win was dismissed, because of a blown call by the replacement...
