A lot of things are going wrong for the Seattle Seahawks right now, and one thing that had gone particularly poorly up until Sunday was their offensive performance in the second half of games. Through the first two weeks of the season, the Seattle Seahawks offense had been absolutely terrible after halftime. How terrible? Not counting the victory formation against the Denver Broncos, they had the opportunity to put the offense on the field for seven total, meaningful drives in the 3rd and 4th quarter of Weeks 1-2, and the results have been about as atrocious as anyone could possibly imagine:

  • 37 plays
  • 110 total yards
  • 9 first downs
  • 3 ‘3-and-outs’
  • 5 punts
  • 1 turnover (fumble)
  • zero points

The offense has been so ineffective that the only drive that didn’t end in a punt or a fumble was their final gasp against the San Francisco 49ers when time expired during their last possession.
