The success of Seattle's pass defense is largely due to the talent in the secondary with Sherman and Thomas being first-team All-Pro picks for a second straight season and each in the conversation for defensive player of the year.
And the secondary has been helped by Seattle's improved pass rush. Seattle finished with 44 sacks in the regular season, up from 36 in 2012. While they had only one sack against Brees in the first game,Wholesale Adidas NHL Jerseys, they were successful in getting enough pressure to disrupt timing and forced the only turnover of the game. Brees was stripped by Cliff Avril with Michael Bennett returned the fumble for a touchdown.
