Defense Analysis: NFL Week 15

Elite Plays

The Seahawks hammered the artists formerly known as the Browns and better known now as the Ravens in Baltimore in Week 14, and now they're even bigger betting favorites and serving as the hosts to the visiting actual Browns. Russell Wilson and the offense is getting most of the love for their four-game winning streak, but in three of their last four games the Seahawks have held opponents under 14 points. In the last two weeks, they've allowed just 13 points while scoring 73, and it's not a case of bending but not breaking either as they've surrendered just 427 yards of total offense. Since their Week 9 bye, the Seahawks have forced 10 turnovers (two per game) and sacked the quarterback 12 times.

Their full-season totals rank well, but they're truly humming of late and should have little trouble with a Johnny Manziel-led Browns offense. The Browns have been responsible for the fourth most turnovers (24) and allowed the third most sacks (43). They're also averaging the fourth fewest points per game (18.5). I expect the Seahawks to extend their streak to three games of holding their opponent under 10 points.
