Seahawks lose to Bengals: PFF Signature Stats of the Week

As we do every week, here are a few notes and tidbits on the Seahawks' recent performance, from Pro Football Focus' Jim Seki. His notes in italics, and my comments follow.

Signature Stats

-- Russell Wilson had a 68.5% yards in air rate (YIA) this week, continuing the vertical pass game trend. This brings his 2015 YIA% to 59.0%, up drastically from 46.1% last season.

In other words, there's a lot fewer bubble screens being used.

Despite Russell Wilson's struggles on third down in the fourth quarter and in overtime, overall I still think he played well in the loss to the Bengals, and his play thus far this season has been strong.
