By The Numbers: Seahawks' Impressive 4th Quarter NFL Record Snapped at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

A look at 10 key numbers from the Seahawks' 14-5 loss to the Buccaneers.

The Seattle Seahawks dropped to 7-3-1 on the season after falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14-5 on Sunday. To recap notable player performances, team milestones and (of course) how the game played out, we compiled 10 numbers from the Week 12 contest:

0

For only the second time this season, the Seahawks' disruptive pass rush finished a game without a sack. The other contest came at the beginning of the season in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. 

1

Tampa Bay's defense held the Seahawks offense to just one third-down conversion yesterday (they finished 1-for-11 as a team). That was a season-low for Seattle, surpassing the 3-for-14 mark (21 percent) they finished with against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.

2

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was intercepted twice Sunday, his first multi-interception game of the season. Before Wilson's first pick by Bucs cornerback Alterraun Verner, he went 128 attempts without one, and entering Sunday, he threw just two all year.

6

The Buccaneers defense sacked Wilson six times, a season-high by a Seahawks opponent. They came courtesy of Kwon Alexander (1), Noah Spence (1.5), Gerald McCoy (1.5), Robert Ayers (1) and Ryan Russell (1). Tampa Bay hit Wilson 11 times.

7

Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner recorded 10 tackles against the Buccaneers, which moved his league-leading total to 118. In his last eight, Wagner has recorded double-digit tackles seven times, setting a new career-high for double-digit games in a regular season.   

17

Wilson's mobility outside of the pocket continues to get better every week. A 17-yard scamper in the second quarter was his longest run of the season.

20

Alongside Wagner, linebacker K.J. Wright has been a stud for the Seahawks defense all season. Against the Buccaneers, Wright recorded eight combined tackles, including two for a loss. It marked the 20th consecutive game he has logged six or more tackles.

21

One of the reasons Seattle's offense struggled to generate much production offensively was because of the field position Tampa Bay punter Bryan Anger handed them. The average Seahawks drive started at the 21, the second lowest of the season behind the 17 they averaged in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams.

80

Adding to Wilson's day on the ground, his 80 yards rushing are the most he's recorded in a game this season. Entering Sunday, he had 79 yards in 10 games.

88/98

And lastly, the Seahawks' impressive NFL-record streak of games where it has led or been within one score in the fourth quarter came to an end Sunday at 88 regular season games (98 including postseason). Before yesterday, the last time Seattle wasn't in the lead or within a score in the fourth quarter was at Pittsburgh in September of 2011.
