What you need to know about the Seahawks
The Seahawks fell 27-7 to the road to the Niners last week. Smith had a tough game, throwing for just 197 yards, one interception and no touchdowns.
Seattle’s running game, a staple of the Pete Carroll era, has been virtually non-existent in 2022. For two weeks, the Seahawks are averaging just 56 yards per game. Rashaad Penny is the team’s leading rusher with 75 yards on 18 carries. For Seattle to have the kind of success they seek, Penny will need to be more involved in the team’s offense.
