Seattle’s defense has quietly become one of the most disruptive units in the league.
Seattle enters Super Bowl LX with a defense built around pressure, disruption, and forcing quarterbacks into mistakes. Over the regular season, the Seahawks generated 54 sacks, ranking among the league’s most aggressive pass‑rush units.
In the postseason, that intensity only increased. Seattle averaged 4.0 sacks per game, consistently collapsing pockets and forcing hurried throws. Their ability to generate pressure without blitzing has been a defining advantage.
Here’s the simple comparison:
- Regular Season: 3.2 sacks per game
- Playoffs: 4.0 sacks per game
This jump may seem small, but in high‑leverage playoff moments, a single pressure can flip a drive — or an entire game. Against a Patriots offense that has struggled under pressure this postseason, Seattle’s front seven could shape the flow of Super Bowl LX more than any other unit on the field.
