3. Jimmy Graham is the weapon Seattle has needed

Remember the “Seahawks don’t know how to use Jimmy Graham” nonsense? That narrative has been completely put to rest.

Graham led all the Seahawks with 6 catches and 113 yards. It was his second game in a row in which he topped 100 yards. It is also the first time in Seahawks history that a TE has topped 100 yards in back-to-back games.

Getting Graham involved in the offense like this is a tremendous development for Seattle’s offense. Defenses are going to have to start altering what they do to account for him, and that will open things up for the rest of the offense.
