The Seattle Seahawks' defense has been almost as good as advertised in the 2025 season. The team ranks in the top five among lots of different metrics, though Week 5 will be a challenge against a good Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense led by quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Still, head coach Mike Macdonald's defense could be even better. Seattle ranks sixth in sacks with 12, but where those sacks are coming from is a bit strange. The edge rush group, for instance, accounts for just two of those. Instead, the interior of the defensive line is leading the way.
