- 11:37on
- 11:37it,
- 11:38but
- 11:38basically
- 11:38the
- 11:39Vikings
- 11:39were,
- 11:40were
- 11:40able
- 11:40to
- 11:41put,

- 11:43Seattle
- 11:43and
- 11:44the

- 11:46a
- 11:46way
- 11:46that
- 11:47essentially
- 11:48made
- 11:48it
- 11:48impossible
- 11:49for
- 11:50the
- 11:50Seahawks
- 11:51to
- 11:51match
- 11:51the
- 11:51contract,
- 11:52which
- 11:52they
- 11:53were
- 11:53probably
- 11:53going
- 11:54to
- 11:54do.
- 11:56And
- 11:56then
- 11:56the
- 11:56Seahawks
- 11:57turned
- 11:57around
- 11:57and
- 11:57did
- 11:58this.
- 11:58Nate

- 12:07changed
- 12:07the
- 12:07rules
- 12:08on
