RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Third downs have been a nightmare for the Seattle Seahawks.



"We're doing extra work on it the first two days this week," coach Pete Carroll said. "... We need to get better there. First and second down, on both sides of the football, are pretty good for us so we need to accent that with the performance and execution on third down."


"That's out biggest issue right now. It's our main focus," offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. "We kind of like what we're doing on first and second down. I think 309 of our yards have come on first and second down and I think we've netted like minus-14 on third down. We've got to do better there."


"Sometimes it's maybe my fault or whatever it is," Wilson said. "Now we're just focused on how do we fix it? How do we capitalize on those situations?"
