Sitting at 3-0 and atop the NFC West, the Seahawks know the tests are about to get tougher
Associated PressRENTON, Wash. — DK Metcalf usually doesn’t hold back when it comes to giving critiques. “You’ve got to be professionals and be the type of team that fixes those mistakes and moves on and improves throughout the season.” Seattle’s 24-3 thumping of Miami was a dominant effort that kept rookie coach Mike Macdonald perfect in the beginning of his tenure. What’s working Seattle is the first team since the 1979 Steelers to begin a season 3-0 and hold all three opponents under 150 net yards passing. The Seahawks haven’t exactly faced elite quarterbacks yet, with rookie Bo Nix, journeyman Jacoby Brissett and backup Skylar Thompson their three primary opponents thus far. Thompson and backup Tim Boyle combined to throw for 186 yards, but it was the six sacks for 46 yards from Seattle’s defensive front that pushed the number under the 150 mark.
