Editor’s Note
Seattle’s going to see some off-and-on showers this weekend — the perfect weather for an indoor exploration of the Seattle Aquarium’s new Ocean Pavilion. Why gaze up at rain clouds when you could be discovering the underwater wonders of the Indo-Pacific instead?

Answered

In early September, we quizzed you on which Seattle Seahawks player has the most total career touchdowns in the team’s history.

Nearly 30% of you answered Marshawn Lynch — a solid guess, he wasn’t nicknamed “Beast Mode” for nothing. However, the correct answer was Shaun Alexander (and 23% of you scored on this one).

Alexander accumulated 112 touchdowns during his nine NFL seasons spent with the Seattle and Washington teams. He was also selected to play in three Pro Bowls + won Offensive Player of the Year and MVP in 2005 (tuck those factoids away for your next trivia night).

Russell Wilson garnered 25% of your votes + Tyler Lockett tied with Alexander’s 23%.
