Williams exploited Seattle's seam with 69% of yards between the numbers; 7.6 ADOT vs. 3.9 allowed.

Against Seattle's defense, Caleb Williams exploited the seam aggressively: 17 throws between the numbers and hashes for 170 yards (69% of total yards) with 11 successful; 7 throws 10+ yards downfield for 99 yards (40% of total) with 5 successful; 5/6 on Dig routes for 110 yards (45% of total). Williams finished with 7.6 ADOT, significantly higher than Seattle's season average of 3.9 ADOT allowed between the numbers and hashes (72 yards/game weeks 1-7). The Seahawks' light-box scheme (6 or fewer defenders 49% of the time) and missed tackles allowed Williams to escape and attack downfield effectively.
