Brady: Seahawks' swarming defense rivals 2013 unit

Tom Brady has lauded the 2025 Seattle Seahawks' defense, likening its current prowess to the legendary 2013 unit that secured a Super Bowl title. Brady, speaking on "The Herd," emphasized the defense's exceptional ability to close down space, noting how quickly opponents are tackled after the catch.

He highlighted the Seahawks' success across all defensive levels, from their speed in the secondary to their formidable linebackers and a particularly impressive defensive line. The team's statistical achievements, including being sixth in total defense and first in scoring defense, underscore their dominance. They also boast a 39.25% defensive success rate and are among the league leaders in takeaways.

Brady specifically pointed out the underrated nature of the Seahawks' interior defensive line and their rotating edge rushers as key strengths. Their ability to suffocate offenses, evidenced by not allowing a 100-yard rusher in approximately 18 months, and their strong performance in pass rush and run stop win rates, make them a significant challenge for opponents like the San Francisco 49ers.
