Good morning, 12s. Here’s a look at what’s out there today — Wednesday, January 26 — about your Seattle Seahawks.
Sports Illustrated Seahawks Writers Pick 2021 Defensive Plays Of The Year
After a somewhat shaky start to the season, the Seahawks’ defense rebounded midway through the season and morphed into a respectable unit, finishing the year tied with the Cardinals for the 11th-best scoring defense in the NFL.
Veterans like Bobby Wagner (170 total tackles) and Quandre Diggs (94 total tackles, five interceptions) continued to play their roles as stalwarts among the defense, while young players like Jordyn Brooks (franchise-record 183 total tackles) and Darrell Taylor (6.5 sacks) flashed the superstar potential that made Seahawks brass believe they could be foundational players in the years to come. Other names like Carlos Dunlap II, Al Woods, and many more also consistently made plays to help the team win four of its last six games and end the season on a high note.
Continuing with their Seahawks 2021 Awards series, the Sports Illustrated Seahawk Maven crew chose three defensive plays that stood out as the best of the season.
