When the Seattle Seahawks take on the visiting Chicago Bears Sunday afternoon, it will be only the second time that the starting Windy City QB has had an opportunity to take on a Pete Carroll defense. Nick Foles has one career matchup against Seattle in the regular season, and it was not an auspicious day for the Hawks, to put it lightly. You have to go all the way back to the 2015 season opener, when Seattle went on the road to face the then St. Louis but now Los Angeles Rams.
Despite finishing the season as DVOA champs, according to Football Outsiders, Seattle started out struggling mightily that season before Russ donned his chef’s hat for the first time and introduced the world to his lights out pocket passing.
