The Seahawks’ offense has posed problems for defenses all year long. Russell Wilson is a dynamic quarterback who can make plays in every imaginable way, but this year Seattle has enjoyed something they haven’t had since the days of Marshawn Lynch: a running game.
After missing the playoffs last year, Seattle fired longtime offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and replaced him with Brian Schottenheimer, architect of stale offenses with the Rex Ryan Jets and Jeff Fisher Rams. But in his first year in Seattle, Schottenheimer has established the running game with a three-back committee while dialing up more deep shots for his star quarterback.
