Here’s how bad the Seahawks defense has been at getting off the field

The Seattle Seahawks defense has really struggled in each of the last few seasons. In that time span, they have seldom found themselves as a league average defense, let alone the Legion of Boom level from 2012-2015. In fact, in the early parts of the 2020 and 2021 seasons the defense ranked dead last in the NFL in terms of yards allowed.

So far in 2022, despite some preseason excitement about the potential of this year’s defense with the coaching changes and shift in scheme and philosophy, the last two weeks have not been promising. Seattle has let up 54 combined points and 759 combined yards against the 49ers and Falcons.
