It takes into account different passing eras and how our ranks top 4 ATM, considering. Hopefully we can climb higher with AZ and St. Louie still in our path! Any thoughts?

Go Hawks.

Nice article....

Seattle ranks No. 1 in passing yards allowed and in interceptions, a feat that has been accomplished only three times in the N.F.L. Two of those teams won championships that season (the 2002 Buccaneers and the 1963 Bears), while the third (the 1982 Dolphins) lost in the Super Bowl. Seattle has allowed only 14 touchdown passes, tied for second with Carolina and only one behind Tennessee for the league lead. Pro Football Focus ranks the Seahawks’ pass rush as the best in the N.F.L., and Seattle has one of the most talented and deepest defensive lines in football.

Great write-up, its amazing how much the NFL has evolved over the years in regards to passing-and why quarterbacks are sought after like gold. What's interesting is how the Seahawks take a different approach at being an elite team. We're 24th in passing, 24th!!! and yet we are ranked number 1 in the power rankings and have the best record at 12-2. Just goes to show ya that you don't have to pass for 400+ yards a game with 40+ points to be great in this league. It's great to know that an awesome defense can be just as powerful as a great passing offense.
