For those that don't know, Toxic Differential is a stat that tracks a teams Giveaways/Takeaways and how many Big Plays they give up/have. Add those all up and you have Toxic Differential. Most of the teams that have won the Super Bowl have had a great Toxic Differential.
Last year, Seattle led the league in TD with 66. Second was Philly with 60. Denver had a TD of only 17.
As we all know, the Seahawks have nowhere near as many takeaways this year as we did last season. So it came as a bit of a shock to me when I looked up the league TD and found that Seattle leads the league with a TD of 55, on pace to have a TD of 72.....AND NOBODY ELSE IS EVEN CLOSE!!!
Denver, much improved over last year, is second with a Toxic Differential of only 28.
So how are we doing so much better? We only have a giveaway/takeaway differential of +9. We are doing it on Big Plays. Big Plays are any pass over 25 yds and any run over 10 yds. We are currently +45 in that category. Lynch is obviously a big part of that, as is Russell Wilson.
For an offense that has struggled at times and a defense that until recently hasn't looked like its former self, this team is actually doing much better in the key stats that coach Carroll cares most about.
A RePete is definitely doable.
