Quote:Seattle lost here on opening day 2005, that's the last time I remember a west coast team really struggling here. Those guys just melted in the second half.

I remember that game as well. There was a fumble on the opening kickoff, and I remember it being like 95 degrees outside with our famous Florida humidity. For a team like Seattle that is used to playing in the rain- and with cool temperatures over in the Pacific Northwest, that must have felt like an oven. I remember that Jimmy Smith had a HUGE game that day as well.

 

They even struggled last year against San Diego in similar conditions. Maybe that is Seattle's weakness.
