Of course it had to be Jacob Hollister.
A year after coming a half yard shy of a division-winning touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers, a 13-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Hollister clinched the 2020 NFC West crown and a 20-9 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon. It capped Seattle s best offensive drive of the day that saw a few key third down conversions and the definitive final blow to the division race.
It s Seattle s first division crown since the 2016 season. The Seahawks had been Wild Card entrants into the postseason each of the last two years. They re now 11-4 on the season. It s just the seventh time in franchise history the team has had at least 11 wins, five of which have come under head coach Pete Carroll.
