The Seattle Seahawks reportedly feel that the organization is not receiving the respect it deserves from the national media and the NFL community, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Reporting on "The Insiders," Rapoport indicated that there is a growing sentiment within the Seahawks facility that the team is being overlooked. While specific reasons for this internal feeling were not detailed in the initial report, Rapoport noted that the team "may be right" in their assessment of the current narrative surrounding the franchise.
This type of internal motivation is frequently used by NFL teams to galvanize a locker room and create an "us against the world" mentality. As the Seahawks move forward in their schedule, this perceived lack of external validation appears to be a significant talking point within the organization per NFL Network.
