Defense

Defensive line

Jadeveon Clowney is clearly not 100 percent but still better than anybody else the Seahawks can play. Seattle needs to find the money to re-sign him this offseason. But after being such a disrupter in the first matchup between these teams, Clowney had just one tackle on Sunday. Rasheem Green had one tackle but no sacks. He finished the season with 4 sacks and that sadly will lead the Seahawks this year.

Grade: C

Linebackers

K.J. Wright had two tackles for loss and played one of his better games of the season. Bobby Wagner got beat a couple of times by George Kittle in coverage, once for a 26-yard gain. Wagner still had 7 tackles and finished with 159 for the season which led the NFL. Mychal Kendricks got beat several times in coverage and then hurt his knee and is likely out for the rest of the season.

Grade: C

Secondary

Here is hoping that once Quandre Diggs returns, possibly against the Eagles on Sunday, he improves this unit a bunch. Lano Hill struggled and has proven to not be a long-term starter. Marquise Blair forced a fumble but Seattle’s coaches don’t seem to trust him right now which is odd. Shaquill Griffin seemed a half-step slow, maybe because he is still dealing with a hamstring injury. Tre Flowers had a sack but did not make any game-changing plays.

Grade: C
