The old adage reads that the offense wins games and the defense wins championships. If thatās the case, then the Seattle Seahawks are legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Mike Macdonald has turned the franchise around and is leading the Seahawks back to the top of the defensive leaderboards for the first time since the āLegion of Boomā era. And while they may not be as flashy, theyāre definitely as good.
At least, that has been the case in the past couple of weeks. As pointed out by NFL insider Dianna Russini, the Seahawksā defense has been lights out in the past couple of gams.
Seattleās defensive dominance shouldnāt go unnoticed
āSeahawks defense the last two games: 9 total points allowed, 8 turnovers,ā Russini wrote on X.
Head coach Mike Macdonald of the Seattle Seahawks
If that wasnāt impressive enough, Coach Macdonald has now become the first Seahawks coach to win at least ten games in his first two seasons in charge of the team.
Heās done that with two different quarterbacks, and while it hasnāt been perfect, this team should be considered one of the biggest dark horses to come out of the NFC.
