Rashaad Penny's breakout game gives Seahawks' backfield another hot hand

RENTON, Wash. -- Pete Carroll called it a good problem to have, even if his running backs don't see it that way.

The Seattle Seahawks head coach is just fine with having more than one hot hand at the position -- and he does at that, after rookie Rashaad Penny delivered a long-awaited breakout performance Sunday during the loss at the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle's first-round pick out of San Diego State topped 100 yards and scored his first career touchdown while starter Chris Carson was sidelined.

Carroll expects Carson's sore hip to be sufficiently rested by the time the Seahawks host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
