Putting a microscope on Seahawks' third-down struggles
Seahawks defense suffering third-degree burns

It wouldn't be wrong to say Seattle's defense has struggled on third down, but it wouldn't be entirely accurate, either. Seattle is actually better than average on third-and-short when the opponent needs one to three yards. It's when the opponent needs 10 yards or more the Seahawks are at their worst:
| 3rd-and-short (1-3 yards) | 3rd-and-medium (4-6 yards) | 3rd-and-longer (7-9 yards) | 3rd-and-10 or more | |
| NFL average | 482-858 (56.2) | 335-759 (44.1) | 200-616 (32.5) | 188-873 (21.5) |
| Seahawks | 12-25 (48) | 11-21 (52.4) | 8-24 (33.3) | 16-37 (43.2) |
