No matter which QB they face, this Seahawks defense is radically different than the one that bombed early in the year. Lately they’ve been playing a lot more cover 2 and disguising their plans well. Their defensive backs have responded by improving dramatically in coverage. They’ve also defended running backs a lot better since the Derrick Henry debacle, if not on screens.
While they’re still giving up a lot of yards (400.6 per game is the NFL’s second-most) there’s now a strong bend-but-don’t-break dynamic going on. Seattle is only allowing 20.7 points per game, the ninth-lowest average in the league.
