Seahawks defenders want to "put the team on our back"

The Seattle Seahawks' defense aims to be the cornerstone of the team's success this season, despite the more high-profile offensive moves in the offseason. With players like cornerback Devon Witherspoon and defensive tackle Jarran Reed setting ambitious goals, they aspire to be the league's top defense. Reed emphasized the desire for the defense to carry the team, aligning with the belief that "defense wins championships." After a strong finish last season under head coach Mike Macdonald, the team looks to build on this momentum to meet their high expectations for 2025.
