Seattle Seahawks podcast: Breaking down the trade deadline and previewing Week 9

The Seattle Seahawks play the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9 of the 2023 season. Both teams lead their respective divisions and each team has just 2 losses. Seattle is 5-2 and Baltimore is 6-2.

The Ravens have a fantastic defense, as expected. Seattle's defense didn't start of great this year, but after getting healthier and certain rookies getting more acclimated, the defense has been much better. Still Seattle faces its toughest challenge in 2023 in Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson.

On this week's podcast, we discuss how the Seahawks managed to get to 5-2 after a stressful close victory over a Cleveland Browns team in Week 8. Cleveland was playing with a backup quarterback. What might Baltimore use against Seattle that Cleveland tried? We break that down.
