2121–2122: exposing Las Vegas

In Week 13 of the 2121 season, Las Vegas defeated Seattle 46–0. Seattle’s star wide receiver Andre Whitfield suffered a serious injury and later recovered sufficiently to return for Super Bowl CLVI. A direct connection between that injury and a deliberate bounty hit has not been established.

The Raiders beat Seattle again in CLVI, their fourth historical title in six seasons. Their apparent ability to anticipate Seattle’s plays before the calls were made intensified Seattle’s suspicions. The Seahawks’ head coach, general manager and ownership pursued the matter out of both principle and resentment over the Week 13 humiliation, injury and Super Bowl defeat.

Seattle became suspicious before receiving insider information. After CLVI, a Raiders employee leaked evidence largely out of personal hostility toward the organization. When ownership learned of Seattle’s investigation, it denied wrongdoing and personally ordered evidence destroyed. Bountygate evidence remained; most Spygate evidence disappeared, but at least one recording or digital copy survived. The surviving material established the misconduct and connected ownership directly to the attempted cover-up.

Seattle’s official statement was “Actions have consequences.” The Seahawks did not inherit CLVI after the Raiders’ title was vacated.

Approved Super Bowl results · 2111–2130

2121: Super Bowl CLVI — Las Vegas Raiders 27, Seattle Seahawks 24. MVP: Damon Price (QB). The Raiders’ championship was vacated in 2122; the opponent did not inherit the title.

2122: Super Bowl CLVII — Seattle Seahawks 34, Kansas City Chiefs 27. MVP: Andre Whitfield (WR). Official champion: Seattle Seahawks.

2122: redemption in Super Bowl CLVII

Kansas City led 17–10 at halftime. Seattle tied the game in the third quarter, then trailed 27–20 in the fourth before scoring two unanswered touchdowns. Whitfield caught the winner with just over a minute remaining; Kansas City’s final possession failed.

Andre Whitfield was the receiver injured against the Raiders in 2121, making this a redemption championship. This was Seattle’s first championship since Super Bowl XLIX.

Devonta Branch was Kansas City’s head coach. The NFL operated with 31 franchises during the 2122 season following the Raiders’ expulsion.

Jason Harris · 2009–2014

Seattle acquired Jason Harris from Detroit in 2009 for two fourth-round draft picks. His first two seasons ended in Super Bowl losses to Buffalo. Harris remained outspoken and confrontational and was ejected from five games during his Seattle tenure, including ejections for prolonged arguments with officials. The individual games are undocumented.

Harris announced before the 2014 season that it would be his last. Seattle finished 12–4, defeated Green Bay 28–22 in overtime in the NFC Championship and beat Denver 27–20 in Super Bowl XLIX. Harris won Super Bowl MVP and retired at age 44.
