Can Seattle’s pass rush step up again?
The Seahawks managed a season-high seven sacks against Carson Wentz, Josh McCown and the Philadelphia Eagles last week, stepping up at a critical time after being absent for the majority of the year.
The Eagles had a banged up offensive line and a 40-year-old backup quarterback however, and trying to get through Green Bay’s offensive line and a surprisingly evasive Aaron Rodgers will be a different story entirely.
Jadeveon Clowney is 100 percent healthy and ready to go, but both Ziggy Ansah (neck) and Quinton Jefferson (ankle) are questionable, potentially leaving Seattle without two of their key edge rushers.
Rasheem Green, Shaquem Griffin and possibly even rookie L.J. Collier and veteran Dekoda Watson could be counted on to try to get some pressure on Rodgers, but really it will be down to Clowney to flush the veteran quarterback out of the pocket.
If they are unable to do so, an undisturbed Rodgers could make this a long afternoon for Seattle.
