Marked Improvement By Seahawks Defense Makes Seattle Team to Beat in the NFC

A single play doesn't determine a winner or loser in any football contest. Yet, one play answered so many questions raised about the Seattle Seahawks and their woeful defense through the first 10 weeks of play.

On 4th-and-10 in Seattle territory with the Arizona Cardinals trailing by seven points, quarterback Kyler Murray dropped back to pass only to be met by Seattle's recently acquired defensive end, Carlos Dunlap II. The stop secured a 28-21 favor in the Seahawks' favor.

In doing so, the Seahawks become exponentially more dangerous as an opponent since the Seattle offense is already good enough to score on anyone.
