The Seattle Seahawks had a tough outing in Week 6, falling to the Cincinnati Bengals 21-27. The loss was a disappointing one for the Seahawks, who had been on a three-game winning streak prior to the game.
Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times gave the Seahawks a report card for their performance in the game. According to Condotta, the offense was the biggest issue for the Seahawks, as they struggled to move the ball and score points. Quarterback Russell Wilson was held to just 198 passing yards and one touchdown, while the running game was held to just 77 yards. The offensive line also struggled, allowing five sacks and nine quarterback hits.
The defense also had its issues, as they allowed Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to throw for 249 yards and two touchdowns. The Seahawks also allowed Bengals running back Joe Mixon to rush for 93 yards and a touchdown. The defense did manage to force two turnovers, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Bengals’ offensive output.
Overall, Condotta gave the Seahawks a C-minus for their performance in the game. He noted that while the defense did manage to force two turnovers, the offense was unable to capitalize on them and put points on the board. He also noted that the offensive line struggled to protect Wilson and open up holes for the running backs.
The Seahawks will look to bounce back from this loss in Week 7 when they take on the Arizona Cardinals. If they are able to get back to their winning ways, they will be in good shape to make a run at the playoffs.
