Seahawks 3rd Down Notebook: Week 4, Detroit Lions

The Seahawks improved in their 3rd down performance against the Lions, going 6 of 13 (46.2%) in those situations. The Seahawks median down and distance for the game was a manageable 5 yards. The Seahawks are now 39% on 3rd down on the season -- good for 17th in the NFL.

*****

Third and short

Against the Lions, Seattle went 2-of-3 on 3rd and short (1 or 2 yards to go). For the season, I have the Seahawks at 71% from this range (12-of-17), which is pretty good.

Third and long(ish)

Seattle has been more successful than I realized on 3rd down and 7-to-15 yards to go, where they are 8 of 14 (57%) from this distance.
