As the Seattle Seahawks prepare to take on the Detroit Lions Saturday night, here are five numbers that matter.
99.5: That was the passer rating of opposing quarterbacks during the regular season when safety Earl Thomas was not on the field for the Seahawks. As a point of reference, only two defenses (the Cleveland Browns and Lions) allowed a higher rating overall during the entire regular season. When the Seahawks had Thomas, they allowed a passer rating of 77.8, which would have been third-best on the season.
