Swerving Points, Week 2: Seahawks killed their own drives vs. the Bears
Monday night’s game was ugly, no need to make this column too long. Let’s expand on Tuesday’s blurb about sacks, then spend some quality-over-quantity time with flags, and finally try to end on a non-downer note by saying some nice things about the depleted defense.
(Really wanted to type “let’s talk about sacks, maybe” but turns out I used that joke already in 2014, as everyone here today will assuredly remember.)
By now it’s pretty common knowledge that the Seattle Seahawks lead the league in sacks allowed (We’re No. 1, We’re No. 1, oh shit, that means We’re No. 32). By now, if you’ve watched football, it’s also pretty common knowledge inside your head that sacks kill drives.
