The Legion of Boom, baby

Russell Wilson, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, they deserve this. The ‘Legion of Boom’, baby. I hope we etched our names in the history books. This is the No. 1 offense in the history of the N.F.L. and we were able to play a good game against them. Peyton Manning may go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game, and we’re just blessed to have an opportunity to play against him. I can’t believe it.
