Seattle Seahawks Set to Dominate Cleveland Browns in Defensive Showcase at Lumen Field
As the Seattle Seahawks prepare to host the Cleveland Browns at Lumen Field this Saturday, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling NFL matchup. The game, scheduled for August 24th at 10:00 PM ET, will be broadcast on the NFL Network and available via satellite on channel 212.
The Seahawks have shown a strong defensive performance in their preseason games, hinting at a strategy that could stifle the Browns' offense. In their recent outing against the Titans, despite a narrow loss of 16-15, Seattle's defense was formidable. They racked up three sacks and five tackles for loss while forcing one interception and six passes defended. This defensive prowess was not an isolated incident; against the Chargers, they limited their opponents to just three points, further showcasing their ability to disrupt offensive plays with another three sacks and an interception returned for 13 yards.
Offensively, while there is room for improvement following a modest total yardage of 239 against the Titans and 325 against the Chargers, key players have begun to emerge as potential threats. Quarterbacks Sam Howell and P.J. Walker have been sharing snaps under center throughout these games. Howell's performance has been particularly noteworthy; he managed a quarterback rating of over 110 against Tennessee with one touchdown pass.
The running game also showed promise in these outings. Against Los Angeles Chargers specifically, Seattle amassed an impressive total of 156 rushing yards on 39 attempts which included a touchdown run by George Holani.
Special teams have contributed significantly as well with Jason Myers perfect on field goal attempts including hitting from long range.
As both teams gear up for this clash at Lumen Field—a venue known for its raucous atmosphere that often acts as Seattle's twelfth man—the Seahawks' defense looks poised to capitalize on any opportunity presented by Cleveland's offense.
Fans attending or tuning in can expect a defensively charged game where every possession could prove crucial in determining the victor of this preseason encounter.
