The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2026 NFL season with a defensive streak spanning 26 consecutive games without allowing an opposing running back to record 100 rushing yards. This mark stands as the longest active streak in the league and the longest in the history of the franchise. The defense sustained this run against several notable ball-carriers, including Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers and Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts. Other opponents held under the century mark include 2025 1,000-yard rushers Tony Pollard of the Tennessee Titans and Kyren Williams of the Los Angeles Rams.
