Okay, so I got thinking about Russell Wilson and his Super Bowl runs the other day. It wasn’t like I set out to do some deep dive, you know, just sort of popped into my head while I was tidying up the garage.
I remember watching those Seahawks teams back then. Man, they were something else. That first Super Bowl, the one they won big against the Broncos, felt like pure dominance. I recall just sitting back, watching the defense completely shut things down. It was impressive stuff, easy to enjoy as a football fan.
Digging Through the Memories (and some old clips)
So, I decided to actually go back and look at some highlights. Not just the win, but the other one too. You know the one. I pulled up some clips online, just short recaps and key plays. It’s different watching it years later.
Here’s what struck me going through it:
- The absolute high of that first win. It felt like the start of a dynasty, almost.
- The Legion of Boom defense was just as fierce as I remembered. Watching those hits again, wow.
- Then there’s the second Super Bowl, against the Patriots. Such a different feeling.
That second game, Super Bowl XLIX… yeah. I specifically went looking for that final play. The interception at the goal line. I remember the feeling back then – just shock, mostly. Couldn’t believe the call, couldn’t believe the throw.
Watching it again now, it’s still a head-scratcher. You see Wilson make the throw, you see the defender jump the route. Hindsight is 20/20, right? Back then, it was just raw emotion. Now, I tried to look at it more like, okay, what actually happened? The pressure, the split-second decision. It’s easy to critique from the couch years later, that’s for sure. I spent a good half hour just replaying that sequence, trying to see it from different angles they showed in the recaps.
It wasn’t really about judging him or the coach, more just… processing that memory again. Seeing how different it feels now compared to watching it live. It’s wild how time changes your perspective on these big sports moments. You remember the feeling, but revisiting the actual plays can bring up different thoughts.
Anyway, that was my little trip down memory lane with Russell Wilson’s Super Bowl history. Just involved pulling up some old footage and thinking back on what it was like watching those games unfold. Pretty simple process, really, just me and some old game clips.
