Ball Security

Jags came into the game leading the league with 2.8 takeaways per game, and a +8 turnover differential, after recording 10 interceptions and four fumble recoveries in the first five games. It has been the life blood of their team.

I think this needs to be taken into consideration in any analysis of the Seahawks' offensive unit in this game. I would guess that ball security was their #1 goal. The fact that we protected the ball so well, while still producing an admirable attack, speaks volumes.

I think this factored into their conservative 4th quarter play calling. They didn't want to turn the ball over like in the Bucs game.

Run game needs work so they can close out games better.

Yep. I think Mac mentioned this in the post game presser. Defensive coaches especially hate turnovers since the tax the defense more than "necessary."
