In Sunday’s matchup, Seattle emphasized ball security against a formidable Jacksonville squad that had previously recorded 14 takeaways this season. Notably, they had been averaging at least three takeaways in each of their first four games.
Turnover-Free Performance
The Seahawks managed to play a turnover-free game, a crucial factor in securing their win. This was the first time this season that the Jaguars failed to generate any takeaways during a match.
Key Defensive Contributions
With Julian Love sidelined, Coby Bryant and Nick Emmanwori emerged as key players in the Seattle secondary. Bryant was particularly effective, making significant tackles during Jacksonville’s initial drives. He concluded the game with seven tackles and demonstrated leadership in the back end of the defense.
- Coby Bryant: 7 tackles, including tackles for loss on the first two possessions.
- Nick Emmanwori: Tied for team lead with 9 tackles, including a tackle for loss and pressure on a crucial third down.
