The Seattle Seahawks opened the 2019 season with hopes for offensive success grounded in the fact that the team had the most prolific rushing offense in the NFL in 2018 and was set to return four of five starters on the offensive line. At left tackle Duane Brown was coming back and playing in the first year of a three year extension he’d signed the year before, while the right side of the line had Justin Britt, D.J. Fluker and Germain Ifedi all manning the same spots as they had played in the prior season.
