Why This Team’s Strangely Quiet Offense Is Making Waves You Didn’t Expect
The Seahawks have put together a pretty decent season at this point in the year. Sam Darnold doesn’t look like an MVP candidate as he did last season, but he certainly looks like a competent quarterback – not something you could say about him through the entirety of his career. He does protect the ball fairly well, which is what you want against a talented defense like Houston’s. Seattle has done a good job of balancing their attacks, but I still think they could use getting their ground game going a bit more. It does seem like you can score on the Texans with the running game. They have allowed five touchdowns to opposing running backs. While that may not seem like much, the team has only allowed eight total touchdowns for the season. Darnold did face this defense last year and he lit them up. He went 17-for-28 for 181 yards and four touchdown passes. Completely different team, different system, but he was still the home team quarterback.
