Rams vs. Seahawks: The Unexpected Twist That Could Change Everything in This Rivalry Clash!
One reason Stafford threw so many errant passes is that Seattle’s defense hounded him with a relentless pass rush.
Led by one of the NFL’s most formidable defensive tackle duos in Byron Murphy II and Leonard Williams, the Seahawks rank first in pressure rate at 53.2%. In the first matchup, they registered a pressure rate of 67.9% – their second-highest single-game mark of the season behind a 68.0% achieved the following week in a 30-24 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Although Seattle didn’t notch a single sack – the only game this season the Seahawks, who rank fourth in the NFL with 42, didn’t get one – the team pressured Stafford on 19 of his 28 passes. DeMarcus Lawrence was credited with seven pressures and Williams had four. Uchenna Nwosu batted down one pass at the line of scrimmage with Josh Jobe, Nick Emmanwori and Riq Woolen each defending one pass in coverage.
