SEATTLE This is how ill the Seahawks’ running game and pass protection had become by the fourth quarter of game two.
Third and 1 at their own 27 with 10 minutes remaining. Sunday’s home opener is on the line. Seattle, trailing San Francisco 9-6, sends in all three of the tight ends it has on the roster: Jimmy Graham, Luke Willson and Nick Vannett. It’s a tight formation. It, and logic, signal run.
Yet the Seahawks call a pass.
Thing is, Russell Wilson looks like he has absolutely zero interest in trying to throw the ball.
