LB – Tae Crowder: STUD

Playing his second game since returning from injured reserve, Crowder burst through the middle of the line of scrimmage and picked up the first sack of his career, sacking Russell Wilson with 9:49 remaining in the first quarter.

Crowder made the most of his extended playing time, looking like anything but a rookie.

Finishing second on the team in tackles, behind Blake Martinez, Crowder produced seven total tackles, one sack, and one tackle for loss.

Perhaps more importantly, Crowder seems to be building on the coaching staff’s trust in him and delivering his share of impact plays.
