I didn’t count them as “drives” when the Seahawks returned the ball for a touchdown (either via kickoff, punt, or defensive recovery). You get the idea. Your red zone success rate is determined by how many touchdowns you acquire per red zone trip. Los Angeles had to settle for two chip-shot field goals on two long drives and trail Dallas 7-6 with 13:40 remaining in the second quarter. You get the idea.On the year, in five NFL games, the Seahawks have scored a touchdown in exactly 3 red zone possessions. Greg Zuerlein has hit field goals of 25 and 23 yards after the Rams stalled at the Dallas 7 and the Dallas 5. It was Green Bay’s first perfect day with more than one red-zone possession since Week 4 of the 2017 season.
On the year, in five NFL games, the Seahawks have scored a touchdown in exactly 3 red zone possessions. Your red zone success rate is determined by how many touchdowns you acquire per red zone trip. Red zone possessions per game is my favorite fantasy stat that has nothing directly to do with fantasy. Obviously, it’s possible to score touchdowns in other ways (we had a punt return and a fumble return for a TD against the Rams; a kickoff return for TD against the Bears; another defensive fumble return against the Bengals; and any number of TDs scored from beyond the red zone), but what we’ve seen so far more than anything else is just a simple lack of ability to move the football at any kind of consistent rate.With every loss, and every poor offensive performance, the chorus of outrage over how Jimmy Graham is used becomes more and more deafening.
The Rams have 25 plays, 127 yards and two red zone possessions. The ‘red zone possessions per game’ stat turns up two teams full of fantasy buy-low targets 27% of all red zone possessions, to be precise. The best offenses, the ones that score the most points, should be tops in this stat.

Red zone possessions per game is my favorite fantasy stat that has nothing directly to do with fantasy. That … is an absolutely abysmal figure. In 2019, the Falcons dropped to 25th in red-zone efficiency scoring on just 51 percent of their red-zone possessions.

One of the big talking points of late – in trying to explain why the Seahawks have struggled to a 2-3 start to the season – is that the Seahawks are beyond mediocre in the red zone.

The fact of the matter remains, Graham’s importance is always going to be dictated by how he’s used in red zone situations, and there just haven’t been enough red zone opportunities to judge whether or not he’s being used effectively.Below, I pulled all the drives from this year where the Seahawks reached the opponent’s red zone. In fact, the only interception (aka the only time we came away with no points in these drives) was an ill-advised pass to a clearly-double covered Graham.I’ll say it again, the main problem with this team is that it needs more sustained drives. Or else, this season will go nowhere fast.
Just improve.

As you may or may not know, the “red zone” is that area of the field from the opponent’s 20 yard line all the way down to the goalline; ideally, when you get that close to an opponent’s endzone, you want to score more touchdowns than field goals (and, obviously, more field goals than nothing at all). If you take away the four we had against the Rams, that makes 7 in the last four games (2 against the Packers, Bears, and Bengals; only 1 against the Lions on Monday night). For more information about Cookies and how to adjust them, please see our But, there are still things we can glean.For starters, of the 20 passes attempted in these situations, 7 were thrown to Graham (35%), which I feel is more than appropriate. And vice versa for the worst ones. 1 being the ultimate, 0 being the absolute worst. Is he being used properly?
