Seahawks Struggle with Pass Rush Amid Bye Week

The Seattle Seahawks head into their bye week with a 4-5 record, having suffered a disappointing stretch after a 3-0 start. Despite this, experts believe the team is on track for the expected eight to nine wins, although a loss to the lowly Giants may prove critical for their playoff hopes. The Seahawks' defensive performance has been inconsistent, with a notable drop in pressure effectiveness against the Rams, where they were unable to sack Matthew Stafford despite generating some pressure. The team's struggles are attributed to offensive mistakes and an underwhelming pass rush, which ranks high in total pressures but fails to translate into game-changing plays. As the Seahawks reflect on their season, they must address these issues to improve their chances in the competitive NFC West division. Their next opportunity to rebound will come after the bye week.
