Seattle has finished No. 1 in points allowed three straight years and also led the league in yards allowed the last two seasons. In two playoff games, the Seahawks have given up just 39 points.

Despite the Seahawks' impressive resume, Blount said he is confident ahead of Sunday's matchup with the defending Super Bowl champions.
