The Seahawks pass rush was the worst in the NFL in Week 1

With Michael Bennett traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, Sheldon Richardson signing with the Minnesota Vikings, and Cliff Avril essentially not healthy enough to play anymore, there were more than legitimate concerns about how the Seattle Seahawks pass rush would operate in the 2018 NFL regular season. It’s early days, mind you, but the opening game was not encouraging in the slightest.

Denver Broncos QB Case Keenum was sacked only one time out of 40 dropbacks, and largely had all day to throw and exploit the coverage downfield.

According to NFL Matchup on ESPN, no team had a worse pressure rate in Week 1 than the Seahawks defense.
