A look at the Seahawks’ rushing percentages during the Pete Carroll era

The Seahawks ran the ball on 55% of their offensive plays in 2012.

That is the high-water mark under Pete Carroll.

Fifty-five percent.

Seattle had 974 offensive plays that season and ran the ball on 536 of them.

The following season, they ran the ball on 509 of their 973 offensive plays (52.3%) and won the Super Bowl.

They got back to the Super Bowl the year after that by running the ball on 51.4% of their offensive plays. Some would say they should have run it one more time.
