While there was plenty the Seahawks want to clean up coming out of their Week 4 win over the Chargers, most notably the penalties, there was also a lot to like about Seattle's pay in a 30-23 win over the Chargers, especially from its defense.

Among the highlights for the Seahawks defense, in addition to the takeaways, was a pass rush that made life difficult on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Herbert was pressured on 55 percent of his drop backs, the second highest pressure rate he has faced since the start of last season. The Seahawks sacked Herbert four times, and it would have been five if DeMarcus Lawrence hadn't hit Herbert too low on one sack, drawing a flag that negated the sack.

When Herbert was pressured, he completed 7 of 13 passes for 101 yards, an interception and four sacks, the last of which was Uchenna Nwosu's sack/forced fumble that sealed the win.

In addition to Seattle's defensive front creating pressure, safety Nick Emmanwori also got in on the act. Per Next Gen Stats, Emmanwori had a career-high four pressures on eight pass rushes to go along with his nine total tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss.
