Why the Seahawks keep running on 2nd & Long

Even though the Seattle Seahawks sit inside the playoffs after thirteen weeks of the 2018 season, all year long many fans have complained about the propensity of the team to run the ball on 2nd & long. On Monday during the game between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles, Twitter went alight following this tweet by Evan Silva (@evansilva), who is a good follow for those who enjoy looking at football through the lens of analytics.

Not kidding an NFL team just ran the ball on 2nd & 20.

The most fascinating football fans are those who side with the decision makers in an NFL dominated by cronyism & nepotism.
