Interesting tidbit from Jourdan's post game write up
Seattle clearly watched the Rams’ last overtime game — a loss to Detroit in Week 1, in which the offense watched helplessly from the sideline as the Lions rammed the ball over and over again at a gassed defensive front and rolled over it for the win. The Seahawks opened their overtime game plan the same way, with physical runs and quick slants that looked all too familiar.
Not this time. This defense now stays late after practice, working on gap techniques and communication together against overturned trash bins set up to simulate opposing offensive line blocks. Fiske pulls weighted sleds alone on the side of the locker room after that to build his legs, hips and back. They aren’t just in better shape, they’re flat-out better.
