RENTON — The margin for error for these 2019 Seattle Seahawks had been fingernail thin through the season’s first six weeks.
Four of their five victories this season had a combined margin of eight points, and they needed Russell Wilson’s fourth-quarter heroics in three of those victories.
The Seahawks knew Baltimore was bringing unique challenges to CenturyLink Field — notably, the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL and the No. 1 blitzing defense in the NFL. And against a good opponent, in an even matchup, the team that makes the fewest mistakes almost always has the upper hand.
