RENTON — As the final seconds ticked down in Saturday’s 26-6 wild-card playoff win over Detroit, Russell Wilson took one final kneel-down, then turned to fullback Marcel Reece.
“Here,’’ Wilson said, handing Reece the ball. “This one’s for you.’’
It was a present for Reece to commemorate the gift he had given the Seahawks all day — big holes as the lead blocker out of the I-formation, a scheme that proved a key to Seattle’s revived running game.
The Seahawks rushed for 177 yards on 38 carries, their second-highest rushing total of the season, with Thomas Rawls breaking a Seattle postseason record with 161 on 27 attempts.
