Seahawks All-22 Review: A sampling of the Seattle offense’s awful 3rd down play

Over the past two games (and for much of the season), the Seattle Seahawks offense has struggled to say the least. Against the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, they’ve scored 22 combined offensive points, their running backs have averaged just 3.5 YPC, and Geno Smith has been sacked 8 times. With numbers like that alone, it’s extremely difficult to win. However, the most damning thing for this offense is their struggles on third down down. Over their past two games they’ve gone 8 for 26 (30.7%) on third down, a number that is almost impossible to win with.
