The champion cannot stand still

The Seattle Seahawks enter the new season with a special challenge. After winning the Super Bowl, head coach Mike Macdonald is not talking about simply defending the title or repeating the same formula. Instead, he wants his team to keep working, keep growing and avoid complacency.

That mindset matters in professional sports. After a successful season, opponents prepare more intensely, expectations rise and satisfaction inside the locker room can become a danger.

New season, new run

Macdonald appears to be addressing that issue early. For Seattle, the challenge is not only about talent; it is about attitude. A championship team must prove it can rebuild its hunger.

For Seattle, the task is not to look back. It is to attack again.
