"The N.F.L. Had Over 700 Coronavirus Positives. The Seahawks Had None."
Just days away from the Super Bowl, the New York Times is taking an in-depth look at the challenges of completing the NFL season amidst an ongoing pandemic, releasing a short documentary (15 minutes and 43 seconds) on the subject as well as a story in today's paper. As the only team to make it through the entire season without a positive case, the Seahawks were the primary focus of each.
Both New York Times features rely on behind-the-scenes footage from throughout the season, press conference soundbites, and exclusive interviews with head coach Pete Carroll, wide receiver Tyler Lockett, and Seahawks' director of player health and performance Sam Ramsden, who served as the team's infection control officer this season.
Heading into Training Camp, it was no secret that this would be a unique year, with nearly every aspect of the team's day-to-day routine being up-ended. Daily testing, wearable trackers, socially-distanced (and often virtual) team meetings, and physical changes to the building were just the tip of the iceberg. The Seahawks would also be travelling more miles than any other NFL team, and practicing just minutes from the original coronavirus "hot spot" in the U.S. And yet, despite everything, the Seahawks managed to stay virus-free, while also going 12-4 and winning the NFC West.
