The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 19-9 on Sunday to move to 3-3 on the season which is tied for the division lead with the 49ers and Rams. Now the Cardinals sit in last place along a 2-4 on the season.
After the win, the Seattle Seahawks’ social media team fired up a masterful meme to troll the entire division. It includes so many easter eggs I’m not even sure where to start. The best advice I have is to try and spot as many of the NFC West references in the picture as you can and then I’ll include some tweets below calling out the various easter eggs.

Be honest with yourself, how many of the easter eggs did you spot at first look? The most obvious one, of course, is how Pete Carroll is positioned and what he’s wearing. It is a play on this famous Sean McVay picture:

What is that weird ‘bean’ in the window?
If you caught that weird ‘bean’ looking thing in the window, it is a reference to this tweet from the Arizona Cardinals after beating the Bears:

Some amazing Kyler Murray references from the Seattle Seahawks…
If you looked closely at the screens in front of Pete Carroll on the couch you can see Kyler Murray’s outrageous lime green suit and ‘Double XP Weekend’
Y’all dirty for this 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/YjLmfWQzG2

Kyler Murray wore that lime green suit in week 5 and got roasted for it. And Murray is now 2-47 when Call of Duty has a 2XP weekend, hence the ‘double XP weekend’ reference.
The Seattle Seahawks could’ve easily just posted a ‘Seahawks win, 19-9’ tweet and moved along. But the Seahawks really went that extra mile with this one and for that we really need to applaud their social media team.
