Seahawks need to solve struggling run defense to make a realistic playoff push

The Seahawks have allowed 309 rushing yards, 6.9 yards per carry and three rushing touchdowns in their last two games, both losses. They'll need to improve in a hurry to slow down Green Bay's suddenly formidable running game.
