The Seattle Seahawks are the top seed in the NFC for a number of reasons, of course, and that includes the way head coach Mike Macdonald can teach defense. His group on that side of the ball is elite. To be fair, though, the group on the other side of the ball is pretty good, too.
The offense is led by offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who, in his first season, schemed the team to its highest point total ever. He did everything that Macdonald wanted Ryan Grubb to do in 2024, but couldn't. Instead, Kubiak knew how to continue to call run plays while also coming up with a system that had the run be more productive as the season grew old.
