The Seahawks in one-score games

The Seahawks are 2–3 in one-score games in 2026 so far, after 6–3 in 2025. Replayed with the same day’s form, they win 3.1 of those 5. Since 2019: 45–28 in 73 one-score games, 40.7 wins in replays.

A good record in close games looks like clutch. It rarely lasts: from 2019 to 2025, a team’s win rate in one-score games carried into the next season at a correlation of 0.12, against 0.39 for its overall record. How often a team wins those games in replays says what its play was worth.
