Legion of Boom (American football)

The "Legion of Boom" was the nickname for the dominant Seattle Seahawks' defensive unit from around 2010 to 2015. Known for their aggressive and skilled pass defense, they excelled at intercepting passes, shutting down opposing receivers, and creating turnovers. Led by key players like Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor, this group transformed the Seahawks into one of the top defenses in the NFL, helping them win Super Bowl XLVIII. Their reputation was built on physicality, intelligence, and teamwork, making them a formidable force against opponents and a defining element of the Seahawks' success during that era.
