Are Teams Afraid To Pass Against Seattle?
We know that the Seahawks pass defense is historically good, but the title of this post sounds like it was written by a Seahawks homer, right?

"Russell has adjusted his style a little bit in terms of does he need to take chances, does he need to fit balls in certain areas," said Troy Aikman, the game analyst for the Fox telecast of the Super Bowl, during a phone interview.
