THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Hey Seahawks, were you watching?

Hey, what happened in the Super Bowl?

I dozed off after Snoop Dogg pulled a hamstring during the halftime show.

Maybe he stumbled over an ornamental chimney on that fake convention center — or castle, or whatever that was meant to be on the field at SoFi Stadium.

The NFL may have to go back to its more traditional halftime entertainment, like re-staging the Revolutionary War or releasing three million doves of peace.

Anyhow …

I was kidding about not watching the game — yet I honestly have no interest in either the Rams or the Bengals.

So, viewing was mandatory for one reason, and one only.

We needed a useful instructional video, something to give us a truly good idea about how far the Seahawks might be from topping that mountain and enjoying the confetti shower once again.

Honestly, I think the Rams’ 23-20 comeback victory told us plenty — and now we have to see if Pete Carroll and Co. absorbed the lesson.

And will act on it.

CARROLL can’t make himself any younger, no matter how fit and enthusiastic he might be.

But Pete already has started to accept a trend that the Super Bowl hollered out, loud and clear.

The league is getting younger, more innovative and even more daring.

That’s never been Carroll’s thing, but obviously he’s getting the picture — given the massive shakeup of his coaching staff.

Who would have guessed that the Seahawks would add three new spots on the defensive side of things (Pete’s own baby), and all young coaches, at that?

The new group includes a coordinator (Clint Hurtt) and an assistant head coach in Sean Desai, one of the hottest coaching commodities in the NFL.

Carroll and GM John Schneider were making these moves before the Super Bowl, but just in case they needed any positive reinforcement, it was instructive to note that L.A.’s Sean McVay and Cincinnati’s Zac Taylor are the two youngest coaches in the league.

We saw it in the game, too, with go-for-it play calls (a halfback pass for a TD, for instance) and continually changing alignments on both sides of the ball.

The play was violent, as usual — with key players either leaving injured (Odell Beckham Jr.) or limping to the finish line, like both quarterbacks.

Still, with all that banging going on, the two coaching staffs waged a fascinating chess match.

Hopefully, all those moves are now on tape in the Seahawks offices.

ANYONE who criticized Carroll and Schneider for trading draft picks to land an impact player in safety Jamal Adams, well …

You’re on the wrong side of the argument.

If we didn’t learn this from Tom Brady parachuting into Tampa, it’s time to hammer it home.

Stars win the big games.

Mega-stars.

The Rams have their championship because they landed Matthew Stafford, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and pass rusher Von Miller in exchange for about six hundred draft picks — so those three could team with the unstoppable Aaron Donald and the man who somehow is always open, Cooper Kupp, to win this Super Bowl.

The Rams could NOT run the ball to save their lives (take note, Pete), yet drove the length of the field in the final minutes because Stafford kept throwing to Kupp — and the Bengals knew what was happening, but were helpless to halt the inevitable.

CINCINNATI had that 20-16 lead under two minutes because the Bengals are a hell of a team, too, what with QB Joe Burrow proving he can get points despite taking a constant pounding, and …

Oh, yeah.

The once-hapless Bengals signed SEVEN free agents who started in this Super Bowl.

They drafted young stars like Joe Cool and Ja’Marr Chase, but then added pieces around them to create a legit contender.

It’s a slightly different method than the Rams’ plan, but only because the Bengals had the kid wonder at quarterback.

McVay had to trade for one.

As I said at the top, we all should have learned something from this game.

And from these two teams.

Over to you, Pete.
