That was the exact same year that the Raiders went 6-0 in the same division....and also missed the playoffs. The Matt Cassel Chiefs won the division that year.

Yards but not points, they were bad in turnovers. They had two games in which they had over 500 yards of total offense. Their TO margin in those two games was -6.

2019 Seahawks allowed 398 points and scored 405 but went 11-5. They had 12 one score games. They went 10-2 in those games. In games decided by 2 scores or more, they were 1-3.

San Diego had the worst special teams in the NFL in 2010. Special teams allowed four blocked punts (and had another deflected), three kickoff return touchdowns, and one punt return touchdown.

They concluded that San Diego was doomed by poor special teams play which largely contributed to their 2–5 start; indeed, in all five losses, special teams snafus accounted for the margin of defeat.
