Less than a day before the deadline for applying the franchise tag, the Seahawks have signed running back Marshawn Lynch. And now they are free to tag another player.

The game was not nearly as close [...]
There’s a good reason no one predicted the Seattle Seahawks would score 41 points last weekend: They hadn’t done it all season.
