The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet Sunday night for the first time since Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson to seal Super Bowl 49 for the Patriots.
This time the two will face off in Foxborough where the Patriots have been rolling, coming off back-to-back wins against the Steelers and the Bills. The Seahawks have been a little shaky on offense this season, but are also coming off a big win against Rex Ryan and his crew.
Seattle’s offense simply put has been bad this season. So bad that we can mention it in the same breath as San Francisco or Los Angeles and within 20 yards a game of those teams. The offense has gone much of the way as Russell Wilson has. While completing almost 66% of his passes, he has thrown for 1,812 yards and just five touchdowns. In the team’s first season without Marshawn Lynch, they manage an anemic 75.4 yards a game on the ground.
Defense remains the bread winner for the Seahawks, ranking eighth in the league in total defense while holding opponents to just 16.8 points per game. While the secondary remains strong as ever, the defensive line has stepped up as well with defensive end Cliff Avril ranking third in the league in sacks. Read more....
