Seahawks Defense 'Looking Forward' To Facing 'League's Best' Running Back vs. Colts
Although it was not up to their standards, in Week 14, Seattle was able to hold Robinson to 86 yards rushing on 20 attempts and no touchdowns. This helped the Seahawks extend their streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher to 22 consecutive games.
"That's crazy," Byron Murphy II said on the streak. "But it really just come down to the D-line. Just owning up front, just being dominant and our guys complementing off of us, the (line)backers, they're filling gaps and we're keeping them guys clean and they're able to fill holes and make plays. So that's what it's all about."
Williams added, "I think that's a big deal. I talk about it every week, that it allows us to operate the way we want to as a defense when we're able to stop the run. If we allow offenses to run the ball, we're putting the keys in their hands and obviously we don't want that. Our defensive line takes pride in stopping the run."
Through 13 games played, Seattle's defense ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game (91.2) and fourth in yards allowed per carry (3.8)
