Are the Seahawks in trouble?

Sure, the stats are ominous. One touchdown in two games. Fifteen points. A modest 179 rushing yards in two games, including only 67 in a Week 2 loss to a Los Angeles Rams team that had been shut out by the San Francisco 49ers six days earlier. An offensive line that has allowed six sacks.

But the Seattle Seahawks are a team built on defense. Here’s another stat: Seattle has allowed one touchdown. And the Seahawks, in the Pete Carroll era, have played their best football after October.

Remember, this team started the 2015 season 2-4 and went on to clinch a wild-card spot.

Yes, the offensive line is a concern. But quarterback Russell Wilson, hobbled by an ankle injury, just wasn’t himself against Los Angeles. Running back Thomas Rawls is trying to find his form after returning from last season’s broken ankle. Tight end Jimmy Graham has yet to break out.

These problems — perhaps with the exception of the offensive line — can be fixed as the season wears on. Seattle is still a contender in the NFC West and should improve.

As Carroll said after Sunday’s 9-3 loss, “We’re better than that.”

Now, if the Seahawks could only figure out how to beat the Rams.
