When the Seattle Seahawks parted ways with Richard Sherman, Jeremy Lane, Michael Bennett, and lost Kam Chancellor and Cliff Avril to injuries, many believed it was the end of the Legion of Boom.

One of the most feared defenses in NFL history had just been gutted nearly head to toe of so many defining players. Amidst a roster reset, people began to mockingly refer the Seahawks defense as the “Legion of Whom?”

However, the new-look legion is starting to find its boom. For a unit almost completely written off, Seattle’s defense has performed far better than originally assumed. After being pushed around by the Broncos in Week 1, Seattle has settled in quite nicely.

The defense went from allowing 27 points in Week 1 to only 17 in Week 2. From there, 17 fell to 13 in Week 3 against the Cowboys for Seattle’s first victory of the season. The defense was a major factor in the Seahawks’ success on Sunday afternoon as they suffocated quarterback Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense.

Prescott was sacked five times, star running back Ezekiel Elliott fumbled, and safety Earl Thomas snagged two more interceptions. Turnovers have been a critical reason for this young Seattle defense’s early success. Through only three games Seattle has taken the ball away from opposing offenses eight times, seven of which have been interceptions.

In each of Seattle’s three games, there has been one defender with multiple interceptions. Bradley McDougald had two in Denver, Shaquill Griffin had two against the Bears, and Earl Thomas had two versus the Cowboys.

The Seahawks defense is playing with a palpable tenacity and ferocity indicative of a unit hungry to prove something. If they are able to keep this up, people may no longer be wondering about the Legion of Whom.
