It was another up-and-down (mostly down) year for the Seattle Seahawks defense. A brutally slow start saw them give up 111 points in a three-game stretch, only to bounce back and shut down the Arizona Cardinals (twice), Los Angeles Chargers, and New York Giants. Poor performances resurfaced after the bye week, then they tightened up with consecutive wins over the New York Jets and Los Angeles Rams, only for the San Francisco 49ers to drop over 500 yards of offense and 41 points on them in the playoffs.
