The Seahawks defense is failing to protect leads in the clutch

For as much as the Seattle Seahawks offense has struggled through much of the season, they were great on Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys. If you were to tell me before the game that they’d score 35, I’d like my chances of an upset win. It didn’t happen, in part because the Seahawks defense blew another 4th quarter lead.

Over the last four games, the Seahawks have entered the 4th quarter with a lead three times. None of those leads was bigger than 9 points, but they were leads nevertheless. Seattle’s defense has squandered them all, and in the case of the Washington Commanders game, they blew the lead twice.
