Just got done reading this. I have to say it was a really good article that highlighted a few things I had not seen before..check it out

Here is one snippet I have rarely seen mentioned anywhere
For Most of the Season, Seattle's Offense Outperformed Its Defense
People think of the Seahawks as a great defensive team. So many of its star players play on defense. But consider ...
Weeks Seattle's Defense Outranked Seattle's Offense by DVOA: 8 (and one week was a tie, so 8-7-1)
I excluded Efficiency Rating simply because it's very hard to navigate ANA's archives. The numbers are typically very similar.
Seattle's defensive efficiency only caught up with and surpassed Seattle's offensive efficiency down the stretch. In Weeks 1-5, 7, 10 and 11, Seattle's offense was the better unit.
And if you'd like to go even further down the rabbit hole, consider that Seattle's offense helped its defense by fielding the third best team in the NFL by offensive time of possession per drive, and overall best offense by turnovers a drive. Seattle's defense was well rested and rarely ever played on a short field. In fact, opponent starting line of scrimmage against Seattle was the worst in the NFL.
