Defense Analysis: NFL Week 16

Elite Plays

The Seahawks continued to handle their business and clinched a playoff berth in front of their home faithful beating the Browns 30-13. Since their bye week, the Seahawks are averaging over 30 points per game, and that puts their defense in a favorable position. The defense has quietly been awesome lately allowing just 26 points over their last three games combined. Getting into revenge narrative is silly, but the Seahawks do same like a team that enjoys playing with a chip on its shoulder, and they were defeated in overtime by their Week 16 opponent back in Week 1. The Rams are one of the worst offenses in the league and have averaged the second fewest points per game (17.2) this season. Their offense is reliant on running back Todd Gurley carrying them, and the Seahawks have allowed the third fewest rushing yards per game (83.9) on the fourth fewest yards per carry (3.7). When the Seahawks hold Gurley in check, Case Keenum will be tasked with throwing into the Legion of Boom. Good luck with that, bro.
