Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who was arguably Seattle's best defensive player through the first two games of the season, put the blame for Patterson's long run on himself, saying he gave up edge contain trying to make a play.

"We beat ourselves today, honestly," he said. "They just came in here and it felt like they did whatever they wanted to do, which is unacceptable…. It's little things like that we've got to clean up. I take full responsibility for that (40-yard run), because if that doesn't happen, then they've have to drive the length of the field and it's tougher to score, but I just made it easier. That was a play on me that I've got to correct. It can't happen again."

Yet for all that went wrong for the defense, players are confident they can and will turn things around, both because of the talent on the field, and also because they expect to play a lot cleaner football as players continue to get used to a new defensive system.

"It's just everybody learning to play together in this new system," said linebacker Jordyn Brooks. "We're going to be great, but it takes time. You have to go through these things early, so when it gets to the end of the season, we've made all the mistakes we needed to make. I'm not worried about anything, I'm not panicking about anything, I'm actually in a good spirit right now because I know we're going to be alright, just need to keep working on the little stuff and keep going."

Carroll agreed that the newness of the defense is part of the issue, but notes that can't be an excuse for in-season struggles.

"Some of it is—I said that to you last week—It's newness," Carroll said. "We have to clean things up and progress faster. There's no time. We have to get better now. We just have to just make sure that we're more accurate and more precise about the fits and the running game and then continue to work into the pressure situations. We rushed the passer. We had our sacks today, and we did it with some different calls, and those worked really well for us. We need to continue to get a rush going as well. That's part of it. It's really all aspects. There were some throws that they caught. There was some pass rush stuff we could have used and for sure the running game needs to improve. We just need to get better. We can see it. We know the answers. We can give them answers to the test, but we have to execute better. I'm not just putting that on the players. The coaches, we all have to do it. Me too. We all have to do a better job and contribute to clean this thing up."
