The D also collapsed partially (fully?) due to it being completely worn out due to the offense having the inability to stay on the field.
The Seahawks weren't really running long, methodical, clock-eating drives in which they moved at a glacial pace. They were relying off bigger explosive plays. They just happened to get a lot of them because they were on the field so often.
Doesn't completely excuse the defense, but the offense did them no favors.
