Seattle loses Rice and has concerns after ugly win
Russell Wilson spent nearly as much time on his back getting sacked as he did standing and completing passes. Seattle's defense bent to the final yard on the final play before making a goal-line stand. The Seahawks are lucky style points don't count in the NFL because their 14-9 win in St. Louis was an ugly, unimpressive performance. For a week, the belief that Seattle is the best team in the NFC took a shot, even if they're the only team in the conference that's 7-1. And the news didn't get better Tuesday with the team confirming wide receiver Sidney Rice will miss the rest of the season after suffering an ACL tear in his knee.
Rice was not having much of an impact in Seattle's pass game this season, but Wilson was under immense pressure from blitzing defenses recently as the Seahawks' makeshift offensive line failed to provide adequate protection. Rice was targeted 35 times by Wilson, but finished the year with just 15 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns. He went without a Wholesale Nike NFL jerseys catch against the Rams and was targeted three times before getting injured in the first half.
Throughout his three seasons in Seattle, Rice was slowed by injuries. His first season in 2011 was cut

short by a serious concussion and shoulder problems that saw him limited to nine games. He played in all 16 games in 2012 and had 50 catches for 748 yards and seven touchdowns. It was his most productive season since 2009 when Rice went to the Pro Bowl after eight TDs and 1, 312 yards receiving. Rice's knees have been bothersome to the point he flew to Switzerland to have treatment during training camp and was brought along slowly in the preseason and at the start of the regular season.
