Seahawks will trail at halftime by a touchdown

The last time I watched a Seahawks game, they were down at halftime. But this is nothing new. In 2019, Seattle trailed at halftime 10 times. 10! And yet, and if you just woke up from being in a cave for years I kid you not, Seattle managed to win 11 games last season.
