A review of the snap counts makes clear something that was evident while watching Seattle’s 26-6 win over the Lions Saturday in a wildcard playoff game — the Seahawks returned to some old-school football to get the running game going.
Specifically, Seattle used the I-formation with fullback Marcel Reece leading Thomas Rawls into holes as much as at any time this season.
Reece finished with 33 snaps, playing 45 percent of the team’s 73 official offensive snaps.
That is by far a season high — Reece was on the field for 12, 10, 12 and 18 snaps in the four regular season games he played with Seattle after signing.
