D line played outstanding.
125 total yards. 31 rushing yards on 16 carries. 4 sacks. Gonna be a tough film day in Minnesota.

These last 2 wins seem to have the groove back. Things are clicking, and this team in the month of December the last 3 years has been deadly.
Just to set the record straight, we were deadly in December in 2012 and 2014, but in 2013, two of our three losses came in December.

Again, it doesn't change much, but in my mind (without having reviewed the season), I thought it was more that we hadn't lost a December game *that mattered* in a while. Am I wrong?
There was a helluva lot on the line in both of those games.
Seattle got the better of it by far IMO.

On the personal foul after the guy sacked RW, I thought it was a little ticky-tack, but the actions the lineman took weren't those of a guy who simply 'didn't know if Russel was down'.
If he thought RW might not be down yet (reasonable), you don't grab a foot, stand, and try to throw his leg up in the air. He had RW firmly in his grasp- if he had just held on to him, no foul would have been called, I'm sure.
The call I did think was blown was the offensive PI on a throw to the outside in front of Sherman. The inside receiver got tied up while the ball was in the air, but the contact seemed to be initiated more by Lane (iirc) than the receiver.
Were there others I'm missing?
