Safety Jamal Adams, who in three seasons with the Jets never played on team with a winning record, let alone on a team that won its division, brought a victory cigar with him to his postgame press conference, then lit it when he was finished, saying "I'm going to enjoy my cigar, God bless you guys. I hope all of you guys have a wonderful day."
A few minutes earlier, Adams couldn't contain his excitement when asked about winning a division title.
"God is good, God is good. You know, I don't want to be too happy because I don't want people to say he's dramatic or he hasn't been here before. You're damn right I haven't been here before so dammit, it feels good, it feels great! Golly we came out victorious and, man, what a hard-fought battle. A lot of respect goes out to L.A. and what they do. A lot of respect to them. But man, it feels damn good."
After the game, Carroll had linebacker K.J. Wright, the team's longest-tenured player, address the team in the locker room.
His message, Wright said, was "Cherish this moment because it doesn't come around too often. Cherish this moment because it's been a while since we have been NFC West champs. This team is special. Our brotherhood, our togetherness brought us to this moment. I'm so proud of everyone that is on this squad, from the coaching staff, to the equipment guys, and the training staff on down. A complete team effort and this feels really good."
Of course, as the commemorative shirts noted, winning the division is hardly the end goal for this team. The Seahawks have one more regular season game left when they play the 49ers in Week 17, then, depending on what happens with that game and others around the NFC, they'll either host a game in the Wild Card round or, perhaps if a lot goes their way next weekend, get a bye. But regardless of seeding, this is a team that believe it's built for a deep playoff run.
"You think about how our defense played and how they've continued to grow throughout the weeks, and how we're all kind of coming together all at one time, it's been a special year, and a lot of special guys are in that locker room," Wilson said. "… The reality for us is we can't be satisfied with where we are. We want to go somewhere, and we don't want to just go there, we want to win it. Hopefully we can get that done."
