In a Week 9 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks were dealt a harsh reality check as they faced off against the Baltimore Ravens' formidable ground attack. The Seahawks, known for their strong run defense, were left reeling as Lamar Jackson and his team pummeled their front 7, accumulating a staggering 298 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

One of the defining moments of the game came in the form of a 42-yard rush by Gus Edwards. Edwards effortlessly exploited a massive hole created by the Baltimore offensive line, which effectively neutralized the efforts of Seattle's defensive tackles Dre'Mont Jones and Leonard Williams. Edwards bulldozed past Devon Witherspoon and carried several Seahawks defenders on his way to a significant gain. Despite Riq Woolen's valiant attempt to bring him down, it was Boye Mafe's relentless pursuit that prevented Edwards from finding the end zone.

The Ravens' success in rushing touchdowns further underscored their dominance on the ground. On one play, their offensive line showcased sheer force, creating openings for Edwards to exploit with ease. The sheer push from the line, along with Patrick Ricard's block on Darrell Taylor, allowed Edwards to burst through the designated gap and find the end zone. Even when the Seahawks managed to generate internal penetration, courtesy of Dre'Mont Jones, it proved insufficient to keep the patient Edwards from crossing the goal line.

Notably, the Seahawks' struggle to contain the Ravens' rushing attack raises concerns about their upcoming matchups against the Philadelphia Eagles, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers, all of whom boast strong ground games. With the playoffs looming, Seattle will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities promptly to maintain their competitive edge.

This defeat serves as a stark reminder for the Seahawks, harkening back to last season's defensive struggles against the run. With upcoming opponents presenting similar challenges, the Seahawks must recalibrate their defensive strategy to ensure they can stand firm against the league's most dominant rushing attacks.

As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the Seahawks can regain their defensive prowess and overcome the daunting task of containing formidable ground offenses.
