Except for the Tua-less Dolphins, the Seahawks have allowed more points to opponents then they usually score. That is mostly a poor defensive performance. The points scored by the Seahawks has been average to good.

Next is the 49ers who score at a 25 point per game average and give up only 21 points on average. That is on par with the with the game the Seahawks lost to the Lions.

The graph represents how the Seahawks have performed in relation to how their opponents have performed this season. The measure is Seahawks points scored and allowed versus their opponents AVERAGE points scored and allowed.

Anything below the BLACK 0.0 line is bad. That means the Seahawks are under-performing what the opponent usually scores or allows. In other words, below the line means the Seahawks Score is less than the opponent allows on average (RED line) or the Seahawks allowed more than the opponent usually scores (BLUE dashed).
