RENTON, Wash. (AP) — This is not the best week for Seattle to suddenly be questioning the problems with its run defense.

Not with the best ground team in the NFL coming to town Sunday.

Seattle’s ability to stop the run, a strength of the Seahakws for the first half of the season, has suddenly become a liability. Last week against New Orleans, poor tackling allowed Chris Ivory to run for 99 yards and helped dictate the tenor of the Saints 34-19 win over Seattle.

Now, Seattle is faced with trying to correct its problems against Kansas City’s duo of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.
