Seahawks 3rd Down Notebook: Week 7, San Francisco 49ers

It seems like ancient history, but for the sake of completeness I wanted to post the 3rd down analysis from the San Francisco game because I forgot to in the run-up to the Dallas game.

The Seahawks were successful converting five of twelve on 3rd down (41.7%), if you take out the kneel-down on the final drive. The median down and distance was 5.5 yards. Both of these metrics match the output of Seattle during the Cowboys game (five of twelve on 3rd down and median distance of 5.5 yards). It would be nice if the Seahawks could go six of twelve on 3rd down, but more realistically, if they can consistently be five of twelve, they have a good shot of winning most games.
