Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has his defense clicking in all the ways that matter. No team in the NFL is creating pressure like Seattle, and Macdonald’s scheme isn’t even calling for many blitzes.
Defenses become extra dynamic when they can get after the quarterback with just four rushers, which provides a significant edge against young quarterbacks like Spencer Rattler. Of course, the New Orleans Saints are in a rebuilding year, putting Ratler in a precarious position as the current starter.
With those few things in mind, most football fans and experts expect the Seahawks to terrorize Rattler throughout Sunday’s contest, and they’re right to think so.
