Despite injuries and a lack of national star power, the Seattle Seahawks’ defense continues to outdo itself. Their dominance against the Washington Commanders in primetime was just another example of how imposing a force Mike Macdonald’s unit can be, especially when it comes to terrorizing quarterbacks.
Halfway through the season, Seattle ranks fifth in sacks and fourth in pressures and pressure rate. And it’s all a credit to Macdonald’s scheme and the players’ collective execution of it. No one player has more than six sacks. It’s the 12 players who have combined for the 27 Seattle has acquired on the season.
