The 2011 and 2024 Seattle Seahawks defenses have more in common than you think. That's a very good sign for the 2025 defense to take another big step forward to elite status.
The Seahawks brought Mike Macdonald to Seattle to revitalize the defense. What was once the most feared defensive unit in the league had fallen off to mediocrity in the past few years. It hurts, but there's no other way to describe it.
Not when the Seahawks ranked 25th in the league in points allowed in 2022 and 2023. Allowing 401 and 402 points in consecutive seasons is not a winning formula.
