The Rise of the Seattle Seahawks | Part 1 

KTO is making full fledged 45 minute documentaries, everything is good all of a sudden.

I'm a Seahawks fan and I was not expecting this from you KTO. Thank you for dropping a video about our best team ever.

That Sherman interview is one of the best moments of the 2010s. Absolute legend

The Seahawks and 49ers Rivalry throughout that period is still, in my opinion, the greatest rivalry in the NFL. Every game was peak football. 🔥

This era of the NFL was absolute cinema

I live in Seattle. This team was truly something different, and I hope we can return to such dominance soon.

I remember I was in 8th grade when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Barely anybody was at school the following Monday because of the Super Bowl parade. A teacher I had in high school actually designed a shirt to celebrate it.

This dude put out a 30 for 30 caliber of documentary. You can see the effort in research amd editing. Absolute legend

Seeing KTO make a 45 minute documentary on my favorite team is keeping me going tbh

Growing up in Seattle was magical watching the team become a super power for years to come. People will never understand how mediocre and overlooked they were for years.

These Seahawks were my entire high school years as Washington kid. Never forget the cold, rainy days and watching the Seahawks just kick ass.

I'm a Washington native, been here my whole life. Pretty used to the incredibly mediocrity of our teams over the years (Mariners still make me cry). During the 2006 Super Bowl my dad hosted a watch party with the local church group and broadcast the game to play on the side of a blank wall downstairs. I wasn't really that into sports at the time (I was like 9 and was one of those kids that got in trouble for reading books in class, you know the type). The details of the game elude me but I do recall a room full of 30-40 year old Asian men all being collectively devastated at the result of the game, which if you can picture that image is kind of a surreal sight. I spend a lot more time these days raging at all our sports teams, and while I can be bitter and wish we were better, I still feel rather fortunate to have been able to witness this era of dominance. The culture from that team at its peak still permeates throughout the scene today, even if nothing has quite reached those heights since. Great video!

As a 18 year old who was 8 years old during the prime of Seattle. Man this video was a blast in the past. Thank you for this masterpiece. All of the memories are flooding in.

KTO making a 45 minutes multi part documentation. [Everybody liked that.]

I can’t wait til the Seahawks become elite once again. The passion that we Seattleites show for our teams is second to none. ☔️🔥 Also bring back the Sonics!

I’m from Seattle and goddamn, this team was fun as hell!

KTO dropping a banger on my Seahawks 💙

lol Erin Andrew’s face in that Richard Sherman video is hilarious

Dropping everything and watching this entire thing. 40min long KTO Seahawks video! Boutta relive my childhood real quick.

As a Seahawks fan this brings me so much happiness!

Just want to say I appreciate that you don't promote sports gambling apps like most sports influencers do. I consider you high class for that.

Is this gonna be a secret base style team documentary??? Oh this gonna feed families

Seahawks finally getting the love they deserve from a source. KTO's one of the best channels on here. Without question

i still think if Seattle hadn’t called that timeout against Atlanta they would’ve went on to win that SB against baltimore. and obviously had they decided to give beastmode the ball they would’ve won the 2014 SB.. that’s 3 in a row, the definition of a dynasty. it’s unfortunate they won’t be remembered for being as dominant as they truly were for those 3 years.

Ima Seahawks fan so this is the greatest thing KTO could have dropped imo

From a cowboys fan: this was a cinematic masterpiece.

Was not expecting this from KTO but I'm so glad my seahawks are getting some love from my favorite football channel

Watching this as a seahawks fan brings back so many memories thank you kto for dropping this video out of nowhere it's beautiful

I just got goosebumps seeing KTO is making a multi-part Seahawks documentary. Top 3 defense of all time!!! LOB baby

Thank you KTO for making a docu about the Seahawks 🐐🐐🐐

Steve Raible’s call of the beast quake always gives me goosebumps. Brings a tear to my eye now too since Shawn retired

As a Seahawks fan, this was massively unexpected from KTO. But seeing that it’s just Part 1, I’m worried about the ending man

KTO I gotta hand it to you… your videos are truly so well researched and the story telling keeps me coming back time and time again. I come from being a huge basketball fan and player, and don’t know as much about the history of the NFL as I do the NBA. I learn a lot from your videos. I keep coming back time and time again. This is just awesome, and these vids get me talking to people who aren’t football fans. I tell them about what I know (stuff I learn from these videos) and then they start to get interested. Your style and approach is truly infectious . Keep it up man please. I always come back to this channel and only this channel for football related content.

I love this! As someone who grew up in the seattle area during the LOB era and used to watch literally all of your videos when as a kid, seeing this pop up in my recommended tn was a gift. (I'm 20 in a couple months).

Me living in Seattle as a Seahawks fan, this video gave me a lot of good memories of this squad in it's dominant times, hell even when I first started watching them back in the early 2000's during the Holmgren years. During the 2013 season, the streets were full of blue and green, cars were donning hawks flags, it was Seahawks mania and I cherished every moment of it. Being 19 years old at the time, I remember acting like an idiot listening to the nfc championship game on radio while I was working at a goodwill warehouse, and when I heard Warren Moon scream with joy with Raible announcing the interception, I ended up throwing random clothing donations in the air and jumping for joy....The ending of this video slowly brought back the pain, knowing that they could have won two superbowls back to back....but I'm looking forward to part 2....because the one thing this team makes me appreciate was that they made a historic impact on the sport in the 2010's, brought the city a superbowl and inspired young football players on defense today saying they looked up to the L.O.B. ( looking at you Byron Murphy :D )...... It was magical and I will always be thankful to that squad and Pete Carroll.

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE KTO LOVING THESE NEW LONG VIDEOS

The Carroll era was absolutely rewarding. We watched a 5-11 team get totally rebuilt with youth that were actually a very dangerous team in 2011. They had at least 3 heartbreaker losses, even with TJack at QB. The 2nd half of the season was absolutely entertaining to see the improvement. All we needed was a functional QB.

10:44 Bro literally gave me chills. Brought a tear to my eye 🥹

Loved Sherms post game interview. Real emotion.

The 2000's Seahawks were nothing without that O-Line. Walter Jones, Steve Hutchinson, Robbie Tobek, all studs.

as a Seahawks fan I am SO PUMPED TO WATCH THIS. OH MY GOD.

This team had a chokehold on my middle school self. Thank you Seattle, for everything (except helping Scott Fitterer get a GM job, and gifting Brady a ring)

I’m a Bills fan and Lynch is still my all time favorite RB! I remember exactly where I was when the beast quake happened. I was so jealous

Part 2 just dropped, had to come back and watch this again before I watch the second one 😂

2010-15 NFC playoffs were absolute cinema and this team was the biggest contributor to that. Great content. Roll on part 2.

Now that I know that full-length documentaries are on the table, I want more.

I’m a Seahawks fan and honestly I didn’t expect you to drop this video KTO! Thanks for talking about our best team. I miss this team

I was living in Seattle during those fun years. I hadn't actually ever really picked a favorite NFL team before, although I grew up in Colorado as a Bronco hater. So despite the dreadful 2011 season (they were so boring to watch), I decided to actively become a fan in 2012. Slightly before the bandwagon. I was asked to drive it, basically. Realizing Wilson was special was so much fun. The players were odd ducks and fun characters. And the best part about Pete Carroll era Seahawks...those games were weird and never boring. I know Part 2 will talk about the downfall. However, despite knowing what's next, nothing will ever replace that feeling in 2013 that we KNEW they were going to be champs. And then seeing it happen in the most epic beatdown in years. I watched that game with my uncle, a Seahawks fan since 1976. It was just a feeling of real contentment. Winning a super bowl is very hard. Seattle did it with a colorful, unique team. Nothing ever takes that away.

I hope this becomes a series, so many interesting rises and falls in even recent nfl history. Would love to see one on the colts and the move from Baltimore and all that

Huge Seahawks fan and this was a great take on how the LOB was built.

Crabtree will forever be symbolized as that “sorry receiver” even though he was pretty decent through his career 😭😭

I give so much more credit then what likely will be given here to Paul Allen as an owner. He wasn't willing to overpay or pay to prove a point, but he wasn't a miser owner like the league had seen. When the team would need a new rec room, he opened up the checkbook. He could've had a practice field anywhere, but had it in an idealistic spot with a view. He let coaches coach, but didn't just accept mediocrity. He liked to let those with a real vision do their job. I think Seattle having a legitimate owner who wanted to be in the Pacific Northwest, not eyeball LA for example, and not overstep his bounds was such a boon for this town and this organization. As a fan, whoever follows him when his sister finally lets this team be sold, must tread lightly to not ruin what goodwill Allen brought this organization.

I loved Sherman's post game NFC Championship interview, made me root for the seahawks for years.

I remember thinking the good times would last forever... As a Seattle native the LOB team taught me to appreciate when your team is dominant appreciate it. I doubt the Hawks will ever be this good again. I tried to soak in UW football this year, knowing that this is probably as good as it will ever get.

I think people around the Seattle area forget how much people hated the Pete Carroll hiring! I was working at Tulalip Resort casino at the time and man i heard a lot of people not happy with it.

As a Packer fan I am always appreciative of players, fans and coaches from other organizations calling out the NFL over the replacement ref debacle

One of the most entertaining teams and one of the first set of NFL guys that I can remember really bursting on to the scene social media wise gaining lots of attraction and followers. Though only one championship, this team was a bandwagon go to as a kid, a hype train with new flashy uniforms and defensive plays and a loud mouth at corner. Along with the crowd noise. Nothing like this team and point in time as a kid

I'm a Vikings fan, but every time the Seahawks were not playing is, I was cheering for them. The Legion of Boom is the reason why I love defenses as much as I do

As a seahawks fan, I can’t help but have the deep feeling of “that guy will always be MY coach” when I see Pete. You’ll be missed coach

Wow. This video was amazing and seriously made me cry. Love this team and one of the best vids I’ve ever seen great work

Being born in 2005 the LOB makes up most of my memories of football in my childhood, even as a Steelers fan they were undeniable

I wasn't sure if RU-vid just wasn't showing me your videos as much anymore, or if you just weren't uploading as much. This was a damn GOOD video though man!!!

The best take on the 2013 Seahawks, and The Legion of Boom I've ever watched. I am so not looking forward to watching part 2, but I have to. I owe it to my Seahawks.

my favorite youtube channel making a 43 minute series on my favorite NFL team. what a time to be alive

Ngl "When you try me with a sorry reciever like Crabtree" is one of the hardest lines in NFL history

That 2013 season was magical. Everybody in the city knew that this team was championship caliber. It wasnt a matter of "if" anymore. It wasnt even a matter of "when anymore. It was an expectation.

Yo. This is the best thing ever for a Seahawks fan. Thank you

As a long time kto fan and Seahawks fan this is incredibly surprising and amazing thanks kto

Absolutely love this long form content, more please!!

One of the best videos ive ever watched

Seeing Seattle sports flourish as I grew up was def a highlight

Marshawn Lynch will forever be my favorite Rb. I remember watching the season of 2012-2013-2014 and at the beginning of the season in 2012 I said the way Lynch and Wilson played they are going to be special and the LOB you already know they was getting to really trust each other. Sherman wasn't the best athlete, but he could get into receiver's heads so good that it just made him such a difficult opponent to match up with then his ball hawk skills like poking or swatting the ball and intercepting it was top tier. All around good team one of the best chemistries I've seen Imo. That Superbowl run and almost back-to-back will be etched into my memory forever.

That was fantastic I remember it all so clearly and it's been 10 years thank you so much for the happiness

As a Seahawks fan this era really felt like a dream . I was a senior when we won the Super Bowl and half the seniors skipped school for the parade

The fact this team only won once is incredible.

Loved it. I can't wait for part 2

Amazing to see my favorite football RU-vidr making a video about my favorite team

Man I was in high school during these years. My aunt had season tickets every season and I had the pleasure of going too all 4 playoff games on both super bowl runs and some of the most Iconic gamee in the regular season likw the monday night when we beat the saint's and broke the loudest crowd record authentically unlike the chief's

THANK YOU KTO FOR THE LOVE. GO SEATTLE SEAHAWKS GO. 💙💚💙💚

Thank you KTO for making a video for the 12th man!

the perfect video to watch with my dinner, thank you KTO 🙏

That three year Seahawk run from 12-14 was like a Shakespearian epic, such success, such drama, ups and downs…and then capped off by the most painful of losses. Even then, they were truly a privilege to witness. While not quite achieving a dynasty, they were still one of the greatest teams of all time.

KTO I hope you’re giving your editor a raise or good money because this edition is top notch. I am not even Seahawks fan but learning from this video gave me so much interesting facts. Awesome video again. Edit: also why isn’t Mike Holmgren in the hall of fame.

Double taked when I saw a 40 minute KTO vid. LETS GO!!!

KTO is a legend in the making

As a 12th Man and fan of KTO, I am immensely and excited by, and proud of you for making this.

thanks kto love hearing about my team, boy am i ready for “ the fall pt2” soon

The most dominant team in the league from 2012-2016. 4 straight seasons of the number one ranked defense. Unheard of. The feeling of being able to be cocky knowing we were so much better than everyone else, especially after destroying the best statistical offense in nfl history running only two plays, cover 3 and cover 1 robber, pure euphoria.

hey, i know ron howard, the tight end for the seattle seahawks 1976-1978. he teaches at aki kurose middle school in seattle.

That NFC Championship in 2013 was gut wrenching to watch

KTO making a documentary about my team just made my week. Thank you, KTO!

The Super Bowl Parade was a crazy day, whole entire city shut down. The fact that the people there outnumbered the city's population tells you how much it meant for us.

Well done KTO, coming from a huge seahawks fan. GO HAWKS

Thanks for covering my team like this. I appreciate it.

Polian was pretty correct about Russell Wilson: he said he would win 4 out of 6 games a season. That equals 66% win percentage. He actually won 101 out of 158 which is about 64% win percentage. He is the GOAT GM!

As a lifetime Seahawks fan this is an amazing video! I can’t wait to watch part two and cry.

The growth of this channel is truly inspiring

this is an amazing project man

man i miss this era of football
