They give up only 190 yards passing per game. They did play Clausen, they also played Rodgers.
They are tied for 3rd in points allowed (17.8)
It is a fact no TD's allowed since Cam returned.
The Bears offense was struggling no doubt, but the Lions offense has a ton of weapons including Calvin Johnson and they shut them down.
Fans can choose to down play this all they want, but the Seattle defense is playing as well in 2015 as they were in 2014 and 2013 after 4 games.
Total defense stats can be really skewed when teams haven't even played half of a season yet.
I think this is good competition, but it's hardly like playing the 2013 Seahawks defense. Some people are acting like it is so they can claim we're an unstoppable powerhouse if our offense puts up some points against them. On the other hand, there are fans that will really downplay their defense way too much so they can act like it's no big deal if the Bengals score a lot.
In reality, we should probably look somewhere in between to make our conclusions. This Seattle defense is probably pretty darn good, but probably not elite as they once were. It will still be a good test and it will absolutely be impressive if Andy and company look great yet again.
