Greg Olsen makes a strong declaration about the Seahawks

The one-time Seahawk has been criticized by fans for not being kind to Seattle during broadcasts, but that may be changing.

Maybe now Seahawk fans will stop complaining about Greg Olsen.

Every time Seattle draws the No. 2 FOX team of Olsen and his play-by-play partner Joe Davis I hear it from fans- on Twitter/X, social media, and even directly. It usually sounds something like.... "Ugh, Greg Olsen HATES us, I can't stand listening to him do Seahawks games!"

Well, brace yourselves Seahawk fans, because Olsen now thinks your team might just be the best in the league.

Shortly after watching Seattle finish off their mostly-dominant 26-0 win over the Minnesota Vikings, the one-time Seahawks tight end had this to say about Mike Macdonald's team:

I think as the weeks go on and you see the dominant defense, you see the explosive element of the offense, you put it all together - the coaching, the scheme, the home field advantage if they get it.... I think it's pretty clear right now, as things stand, if you want to win, you want to go through the NFC playoffs, it's probably going to have to go through this Seattle Seahawks team.

To Olsen's point, with today's win Seattle improves to 9-3 and are now tied with the Rams and Bears for the best record in the NFC.
