Two week ago, the Seahawks were ranked 2nd in the NFL Power Index. Now they’re 12th and sinking like a rock. What happened? The answer to that is simply “their offense happened.” Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that it didn’t happen.
It’s been three weeks since Russell Wilson threw a touchdown pass. To avoid getting pummeled because of the terrible blocking in front of him, Wilson has become Captain Checkdown. Without a running game to help, the entire offense has ground to a halt.
Meanwhile, Seattle’s defense has been on the field for insanely large periods of time.
