The Seattle Seahawks have surged to the top of the NFC West, winning four consecutive games since their bye week. This turnaround is largely attributed to their defense, which has significantly improved, allowing fewer yards and points per game compared to earlier in the season.

Notably, the Seahawks' defensive metrics have seen a remarkable transformation, ranking first in EPA per play against the pass since the bye. Coach Mike Macdonald has successfully adjusted the coverage schemes, enhancing the performance of key defensive backs.
