This stat sums up the Seahawks 24-17 loss better than anything else. Seattle ran six plays in the third quarter, called no running plays, and gained one yard. Pete Carroll loudly proclaimed his team needed to establish the run after just 16 rushes against the Broncos. So of course after three quarters in Chicago, they had a total of eight running plays. Pete, here’s a clue: run the ball. Actually run it, don’t just say you will. The cancer: no run game.
After seven quarters of football, Seattle had a grand total of 24 running plays in 2018.
