Eye on …The seattle seahawks
Broncos at Seahawks, 2:25 p.m., Sunday, CBS
For the record: Seattle suffered its first loss since Dec. 22, falling 30-21 on the road to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
Streaking: Russell Wilson hasn’t thrown an interception in six games dating to last season. He enters Sunday with a 114.7 passer rating and owns a 16-1 regular-season record at Century Link Field.
Who’s hot: Percy Harvin continues to show, at least in bursts, why the Seahawks are paying him $12 million per season. Though limited as a receiver, he crushes teams on jet sweeps. He has rushed for 86 yards on six carries. Defensive end Michael Bennett graded out as Seattle’s top defender against the Chargers, netting a sack, a quarterback hit and six hurries.
Who’s not: Richard Sherman remains protective of his mythical status as the game’s top cornerback. After Keenan Allen said the Chargers exposed Sherman, the former Stanford product avoided the media, then expressed his views on Twitter, saying, “Exposed? Complete 3 passes 0 touchdowns 0 explosive passes…. These guys make me laugh.” For the record, the Chargers completed five-of-five passes for 60 yards against Sherman, but no scores.
Key stat: The Legion of Boom secondary dominates at home. Seattle has picked off 17 passes in its past nine regular-season home games.
FYI: The Broncos corralled Marshawn Lynch in the Super Bowl — 15 carries, 39 yards — but he exists as a threat that opens up Wilson to exploit the Broncos with the read option if their defensive ends aren’t disciplined.
