The Seattle Seahawks run defense is bad. It’s very bad. Those handful of weeks when they stopped bad and/or severely undermanned rushing attacks (whether running back, offensive line, or both) against the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers, and New Orleans Saints was one big facade.
On either side of the four-game winning streak, the Seahawks run defense has been letting everyone eat. Against the Las Vegas Raiders, they allowed 229 yards and two touchdowns to Josh Jacobs, including the 86-yard game-winner in overtime. Jacobs’ 303 total offensive yards is top-10 in NFL history.
