Seahawks mailbag: Biggest takeaways from Sunday? Why did Akeem King play nickel? And more

Some fun and interesting questions after a 17-9 win Sunday over the Eagles that saw the Seahawks improve to 9-2 or better for only the fourth time in franchise history. So let’s get to it.

Q: @UKSeahawks asked: Biggest takeaway from Sunday’s game?Aside from (Rashaad) Penny, D Line?

A: I’d say two other individual defenders — safety Quandre Diggs and defensive end Ziggy Ansah.

There are some caveats to assessing defensive line play in considering how much the Eagles’ offensive line struggled. Guard Brandon Brooks pulled himself out of the game early on due to issues with anxiety while rookie right tackle Andre Dillard — who was filling in for starter Lane Johnson — was benched at halftime.
