Pete Carroll’s 4th down decisions come under scrutiny again

Pete Carroll’s fourth-down calls were called into question yet again in Week 6. On a 4th and 9 from the Cleveland Browns’ 39-yard-line, the Seattle Seahawks head coach decided to punt the ball rather than going for it. The numbers said this was a terrible decision.

SEA decided to punt to CLE from the CLE 39 on 4th & 9 with 1:25 remaining in the 1st while losing 6 to 14.

With a Surrender Index of 30.83, this punt ranks at the 99.1st percentile of cowardly punts of the 2019 season, and the 98th percentile of all punts since 2009.
