  "account": "Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury focused on the middle of the field when targeting the Arizona Cardinals defense in Week 9. This strategy led to a significant boost in the Seahawks' run game, as it stretched the opposing linebackers, creating gaps for the team's in-breaking routes. Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the team's wide receivers, exploited these opportunities by consistently running over the middle of the field, providing the offense with additional space to operate underneath. As a result, running back Zach Charbonnet rushed 16 times for a notable 77 yards, which marked the highest single-game yards-per-carry average for a Seahawks running back since Jadarian Price's 52-yard performance in Week 1. The combination of efficient running plays and well-executed in-breaking routes proved to be a formidable duo, as neither element was easily deciphered by the Cardinals during the game. Brian Fleury will undoubtedly analyze the performance on tape and incorporate these insights into the Seahawks' game plan for their upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.",
