The head coach Pete Carroll, of the Seattle Seahawks shared his opinions after the game and stated, “This was a great night for (defensive coordinator) Clint (Hurtt) and the guys on defense,”
“The mixes and the changeups, the variety of ways that we came after them, we used everybody on the field just about, hitting the calls at the right time so the guys could create some explosive plays out of it. You’ve got to give Clint a ton of credit. Pass rush isn’t just the guys up front; everybody contributes to it. Coverage, and that’s where the backers play a role as well, and it was a great illustration of that tonight.”
The defensive strategy the Seahawks displayed that night has been commendable and they have garnered the love of the fans due to that, especially.

Bobby Wagner regarding the record-setting game, said, “I think we needed it,”
“I think each game defensively we’ve been getting better. We’ve been doing a good job stopping (the) run, but the one thing was just applying pressure. I think the last game, we had a lot of pressures but not as many sacks. I felt like this game, we turned those pressures into sacks.”
