EA Sports totally owns Seattle Seahawks in mild Twitter spat

The Seattle Seahawks are one of the best teams in the NFL, one that is expected to contend for a third straight Super Bowl appearance this season.
But that does not mean they are infallible. At least, in the virtual world.
Wednesday, player ratings for “Madden 16” were released. Now, these always cause some sort of commotion, with players believing they are better than the video game thinks. But the exchange between the Seahawks’ Twitter account, which was bummed about the 98 Trucking rating given to running back Marshawn Lynch, set off an incredibly humorous exchange.
It began with this:

The Seahawks took the jab in stride, even admitting that they were on the losing side of this battle:
