Seahawks offense showing 3rd down improvement, defense not so much

It’s fair to say that 3rd down has been a major problem for the Seattle Seahawks on both sides of the ball this season. On offense, the team ranks 26th at 35.5%, while the defense sits at 31st at 46.8%.

If there’s some good news to be had, the offense may be turning the corner.

Over the last four games, the Seahawks rank 8th in 3rd down conversion at 47.3% (via Stathead). In Seattle’s win over the Tennessee Titans, the offense was 7/13 on 3rd down and 5/6 in the 2nd half.
