Just a couple of weeks ago, there were legitimate concerns about whether or not the Seattles Seahawks were going to make it into the postseason. They defeated the division-leading Cardinals last week and then followed it up on Thanksgiving with a dominant victory over the rival 49ers. What are the five biggest takeaways from their latest victory?

While this defense and team as a whole hadn’t looked dominant in quite a while, they certainly have over the last two weeks. If they can play consistently at this level moving forward, they could definitely compete for another title.

The one negative that you can take away from this game is how little the receiving core is contributing. No wideout had more than five targets or three catches in this game and Jermaine Kearse led wide receivers with 39 yards. For this offense to be at its best, someone in that unit has to step up, even if only slightly.

While Wilson’s performance wasn’t incredibly wowing, his dynamic playmaking is the greatest weapon Seattle has. The way he can extend plays and make decisions under-duress is going to pay dividends for the Seahawks again and again.

Lynch’s production took a huge dip last week, but they kept giving him the rock (20 carries) when they took the field this week and he went to work. Despite all of the rumors, Seattle can’t shy away from feeding Lynch on a consistent basis.

Not that Colin Kaepernick has been the greatest at all this season so far, but he and other quarterbacks probably shouldn’t test Sherman as much as they have this season. Sure, Sherman has looked human at times this season, but he looked like the best corner in the game once gain on Thanksgiving night.
