The Seahawks defiantly refused Green Bay’s invitation to run the ball

Yes, this is a column about how Pete Carroll didn’t run the ball enough against the opposing team’s defense.

You might have noticed that the Green Bay Packers seldom blitzed Russell Wilson, who’s spent years being one of the most blitzed QBs in the NFL and since 2018 he is by a country mile the most sacked QB on blitzes. They still got to him frequently just rushing four guys, because the Seattle Seahawks offensive line is not very good.

But on a day when the weather was cold, Russell’s finger wasn’t healed well enough to do any snaps under center, the Seahawks passed.
