Seattle Seahawks star KJ Wright hails defensive effort

Seattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright has hailed the effort of his side's defense during their recent good form.

The Seahawks have won their last four matches by restricting their opponents to a combined 27 points, which resulted in Pete Carroll's men eliminating their bitter rivals the San Francisco 49ers from playoff contention in a 17-7 victory.

Wright told reporters: "It's just a maximum group effort. Everybody is getting to the ball and making plays. We're not letting teams breathe out there."

Wright has recorded 96 tackles, two sacks and three forced fumbles this season.
