I have never heard the phrase stat porn, but find it fitting. There are some exciting things ahead for us Hawk fans. I hope the trend continues

The Seahawks now have played 77 straight games without losing by more than 10 points. That is now the longest streak in pro football history, as they passed the Decatur Staleys-turned-Chicago Staleys-turned Chicago Bears streak of 74 straight set from 1920 to 1925, per Pro-Football-Reference.co

That may be the most impressive stat of any - especially when a team beats a record that was almost a 100 Years Old.
I saw that. As you know, I'm no stats monkey, but that one, a team stat that translates well across the decades, is IMO more impressive than any of the various individual stats and accomplishments that's been bandied about in this forum. I'm surprised that it's not getting more nation wide notice.
