Seahawks’ games the last few weeks have been relatively free of significant penalties — Seattle has just 15 in the last three games, far below its season average of 7.3.
That trend could continue this week as the Seattle-Green Bay game will be officiated by the crew of referee Walt Coleman, who according to Pro Football Reference calls about one penalty per game fewer than average.
Coleman also brings a little bit of pro-Seattle karma with him — among the Seahawks’ games in his history are the 2011 divisional playoff win over New Orleans (the Beast Quake game) and the wild card playoff win at Minnesota in January.
