St. Louis Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks: 4 Key Stats for Seattle

It hasn't been pretty, but the Seattle Seahawks lead the St. Louis Rams 10-3 at halftime.  These four stats show why.

3: Bold Moves from Pete Carroll

The Seahawks have been playing like a team possessed for the last six weeks and Pete Carroll’s aggressive play-calling helps them to keep their edge. So far he has dialed up a reverse on a kickoff , a sneaky punt block play and a halfback throwback.  Seattle is going to need to win out if they want to challenge for a playoff spot and risky play-calling is a great way to keep your team involved and engaged.

8: Number of Seahawks in the Box on Defense

Pete Carroll’s no fool.  He knows Sam Bradford is playing hurt so he is daring the woeful Rams offense to beat him through the air.  So far Carroll’s plan is working to perfection

3: Number of Times K.J. Wright Hit Sam Bradford

The last thing an injured quarterback needs is defenders in his face.  If K.J. Wright keeps it up we may see Oregon Ducks’ great Kellen Clemens sooner rather than later. 

12:  Seattle’s 12^th Man 

Century Link Field has been one of the toughest places to play in since it opened in 2002.  So far, the 12^th man has held up their end of the bargain and caused the Rams to jump offsides twice.
