1. Seattle's offense is still dealing with the same issues.
For the Seahawks to get back on track, they knew they needed an offense that has been struggling for much of the season to get back on track, and the hope heading into this week's game is that they would be able to clean up some of the issues, particularly on third down. But while Russell Wilson and the offense were able to get a touchdown early, a superb Wilson throw to Gerald Everett after a deep ball to Lockett got the Seahawks into the red zone, it was a struggle for the offense the rest of the way until touchdown drive in the game's final minutes.
After that first quarter touchdown drive, the Seahawks had only three first downs on their next eight possessions, and they went three and out on five straight possessions, including all four third-quarter possessions. The Seahawks' most promising drive after the touchdown, until the end of the game, was also the result of a deep ball to Lockett, this time for 39 yards, but that possession ended on a turnover when Alex Collins fumbled at the end of a 13-yard reception.
Third down was again an issue, with the Seahawks converting just 4 of 12 attempts, with two of those conversions coming on the first-quarter touchdown drive. And with the offense not converting, the Seahawks were again at a big disadvantage in terms of total plays run (45 to Washington's 79) and time of possession (18:20 to 41:40).
The offense did show a spark late in the game, with Wilson leading a 96-yard touchdown drive in the final 2:19, but the 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted, allowing Washington to hang on for a win.
