You may remember being infuriated by the Seattle Seahawks’ woeful defense to start the year, but they had one hell of a knack for generating turnovers.
Through the first nine games of the regular season, the Seahawks defense and special teams combined for 15 takeaways and had at least one in every game except the loss to the Buffalo Bills. On the flip side, the Seahawks offense gave it away 13 times but ten of them came in that ugly stretch versus the Cardinals, Bills, and Rams.
Pete Carroll’s “all about the ball” mentality surely played a role in his meddling with the offense towards the back-end of the season.
