Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson took a lot of flack from 12s at the start of the season. Now, Seattle is saying sorry.

Wilson has received more than a fair share of media attention, a lot of which has been focused on his relationship with singer Ciara; their Batman birthday; Mexico vacation; and the announcement that they aren’t having sex.

As the Seahawks lagged early in the season, their relationship came under fire, many suggesting that it was distracting Wilson.
