The Seattle Seahawks have been very nice this year, at least according to quarterback Russell Wilson, who handed out some big ticket gifts to his teammates.

Having already clinched a spot in the playoffs, Seattle heads into Christmas weekend with an opportunity to seal up the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye.

Clearly, the holiday spirit is alive and well in the Seahawks' locker room, where Wilson left flatscreen Samsung TVs for his offensive line and dished out prepaid Alaska Airline tickets to the rest of the team.

Wilson has battled injuries all year, leading to a career-high 11 interceptions and a decline in both touchdowns and passing yards. His offensive line hasn't been completely healthy either, forcing players to shift positions and leaving Wilson without a consistent five-man line.

Still, the Seahawks are sitting pretty atop the NFC West, and Wilson extended a major thank you to his protectors.

Wilson gave his offensive line electric shavers and watches a year ago, when the Seahawks finished second in the NFC West and were a wild-card playoff team.

It looks like winning a division championship upped the ante on Wilson's Christmas gifts.
