"Sherman’s assertion that the Seahawks are less willing to run the football than other teams in these situations is grounded in stats. On average, NFL teams, since 2012, pass the ball 21.3 percent of the time at the 1-yard line, but the Seahawks call passing plays 28.9 percent of the time. The New England Patriots pass 35.7 percent of the time, the Carolina Panthers toss it 25.5 percent of the time, the Denver Broncos throw 40.7 percent of the time, and the Green Bay Packers pass 29.8 percent of the time.
In short, the Seahawks run vs. pass split at the 1-yard line is similar to other top teams with strong passing games and capable rushers in between the tackles. However, is throwing the football at the one-yard line actually effective? Based on the data at hand, I would argue that it is.
NFL teams score a touchdown on 50.5 pecent of their passing plays from one yard away. That average drops to 34.9 percent for rushing plays. About 2.2 percent of passing plays result in a turnover (fumble or interception), while 1.2 percent of rushing plays end in a turnover (fumble)."
