He faced probably the baddest defense since the 2000 Ravens, or '85 Bears, or '91 Eagles. Not only that they were first in rushing and 2nd in conference in offensive yards per pass attempt. Even when receivers made catches they were drilled right away. To top it off he had an average defense with him and I don't know why people underrate Russell Wilson but he has plenty of experience against top flight pass defenses playing in the NFC West as well as facing Carolina and New Orleans who improved under Ryan defensively.
