The notable improvement for the Seahawks was on defense, as the unit rebounded from allowing at least 27 points in each of Seattle’s last four games, including 45 and 39 points in their previous two games, respectively.
Seattle’s offense has done surprisingly well this season, too, thanks to a stellar showing by quarterback Geno Smith in his first year taking over the reins behind center following the departure of Russell Wilson in a trade to the Denver Broncos.
So what’s the next step for the Hawks? In the latest breakdown video for the Seattle Sports YouTube channel from former NFL wide receiver Michael Bumpus, he details why it has to do with special teams.
