The Seahawks lost a close game in Cincinnati Sunday, failing to convert in the red zone with a chance to win in the game's final minute. But despite the result, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll saw a lot of good things from his team, and from his defense in particular, noting, "I love the way we played today… There's always stuff to get better, but that's a freakin' competitive group, man. They fought their ass off today, both sides of the ball. It's going to help us down the road."
In addition to the 17-13 final score, here are 12 numbers that helped tell the story of Sunday's loss, which ended a three-game winning streak for Seattle:
3
Points scored by the Seahawks on four trips to the red zone in the second half.
2
Turnovers, a pair of Geno Smith interceptions, doubling the total number of turnovers the Seahawks had in their first four games.
5
First downs gained by the Bengals on their final eight possessions, not including a knee-down to end the game, after they scored touchdowns on their first two possessions.
76
Yards gained by Cincinnati in two-plus quarters on those eight possessions.
2
Interceptions recorded by Tre Brown this season, who intercepted Joe Burrow in the third quarter, in four games played—one of which was cut short by a concussion—the first two in his career.
3
Passes defensedrecorded by Devon Witherspoon, giving him seven this season, tied for second most in the NFL despite playing only four games.
2
Explosive plays allowed by Seattle's defense, a pair of Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase completions early in the game. The Bengals did not have a gain longer than 5 yards on the ground.
46
Defensive snaps, out of 54 total, played by Jamal Adams in his first full game in more than a year. And Adams was productive in his return, recording four tackles, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit.
6
Rushing touchdowns for Kenneth Walker III, who has scored in each of the last four games. The second-year running back currently is tied for third in the NFL in rushing scores.
20
Consecutive games with a made field goal for Jason Myers, a franchise record. Myers made both attempts Sunday, including a 55-yarder.
48
Yards on four receptions for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the most productive game so far in the rookie receiver's young career.
3
Consecutive games with a sack for second-year outside linebacker Boye Mafe, who has already matched his sack total from his rookie season.
