This is what yesterday looked like, except if that rabbit were an eagle.

The Seahawks went out and dominated Chip Kelly’s Philadelphia Eagles in a 24-14 win, that scoreline vastly understating the discrepancy between the two NFC contenders. The Seahawks continue to control their own destiny in the NFC West, and look as good as they have since their opening week win over the Packers. How do I feel after such a depantsing of Philadelphia? I feel great. As Nelly once sang, “It’s getting insufferable in herre, so take off all your clothes.”

That’s right, the Insufferable Journey to Rewinnining the Super Bowl™ is at maximum effect. In the words of Nelly, the Seahawks are playing at a level that can best be described as, “uh ohhhhhhh! What’s poppin tonight?”

But why leave things with the best description, when we can provide a slightly inferior comprehensive numerical breakdown of the Seahawks excellence on Sunday using a whole array of insufferable numbers? No reason at all. Let’s proceed:

82: Mark Sanchez’s passing yards. Mark Sanchez had been playing pretty well since taking over the Eagles starting quarterback job for the injured Nick Foles. The caveat that came with that success was the poor slate of defenses the Eagles had played against over that span. The Seahawks are not a poor defense, and when faced with a non-poor defense, Mark Sanchez suddenly looked like the butt-fumbling Mark Sanchez we all know and love. Sunday’s game didn’t have a butt fumble-esque moment of ineptitude. Instead, it displayed Sanchez’s college coach Pete Carroll squeezing the life out of his former pupil. It was fun to watch in the way that watching a snake kill Mark Sanchez would be fun if you were a lifelong fan of snakes. (On a secondary snake note, I’m putting the Discovery Channel in the “Losing To The Oakland Raiders Bin Of Shame” after promising me that they would show a man getting eaten by a snake, only to have him tap out before the snake even tried to swallow him. That is shameful, Discovery Channel. As shameful as hypothetically losing to the Raiders on Sunday.)

Eleventy: The approximate number of boneheaded special teams plays the Seahawks made in Sunday’s win. Paul Richardson refused to kneel the ball down in the endzone on a number of returns he then failed to bring out past the 20-yard line. Punter Jon Ryan fumbled a snap for no reason, leading to an early Eagles touchdown. Doug Baldwin made all sorts of wrong decisions when it came to the punt return decision tree of catching/fair-catching/letting the ball go. Steven Hauschka was great, nailing a field goal into the wind and almost forcing a fumble, but was denied three potential field goal opportunities due to weird Russell Wilson decisions. While the Seahawks were awesome in the two primary phases of the game, the third phase remains a hideously leaky work in progress.

33: Russell Wilson’s career wins in 50 starts. Wilson becomes only the third quarterback to win 33 games in his first three years (equalling a record shared by Dan Marino and Matt Ryan) and has three games left to break the record. Also, by my math, he has infinitely times as many Super Bowl rings as Marino and Ryan. It’s fun to have Russell Wilson on the Seahawks. In the words of Nelly, “Oh! We must pay him money.”

188: Seahawks rushing yards. These 188 yards on the ground against a really good Eagles front seven. The way most teams beat the Eagles is by airing it out against their secondary with superior wide receivers. That was the blueprint the Packers drew up and then executed to perfection a few weeks ago. The Seahawks don’t have great—[ducks as Doug Baldwin throws a phone at my head] ahem—the Seahawks receiving corp is, um, totally great, um, but not Packers great, so it was particularly impressive to see them impose their brand of offense on an Eagles team designed to stop the run. If two players could be some sort of Frankenstein MVP, I would state a serious case for the running combo of Lynch and Wilson. But they can’t, so I won’t.

44: The number of yards the Seahawks were given on a soft pass interference penalty during their second third-quarter touchdown drive. I mention this for two reasons. One, spot fouls are dumb, and massively overvalue hopeful deep balls thrown to speed demons (let this be my first bit of public campaigning for the Seahawks to go after current Raven and soon-to-be free agent wide receiver Torrey Smith this offseason, who leads the league in pass interference yardage drawn). Two, I’ve complained about bad refereeing a bunch this year. It’s only fair that I point out when the Hawks catch a meaningful break.

24-13: The margin by which the Oakland Raiders beat the San Francisco 49ers, all but ending the 49ers postseason hopes. The 49ers now face a must win game in Seattle next week, where they have been unable to win during Russell Wilson’s stint as Seahawks quarterback. Jim Harbaugh, your thoughts?

1: As Nelly once sang, “I. Am. Number One.” And if you were to ask me to power rank the Seahawks in the full context of the NFC today? They’d be at the top spot. In the NFL? Ooof. My head is saying put them behind the Patriots. My heart? My heart is very insufferable. Put the Hawks up top! Let’s go!
